Yes — Salted Caramel Ice Cream is ultra-processed.
Classified as UPF because it contains industrial ingredients/additives including glucose syrup, dried glucose syrup (industrially extracted sugars), emulsifier (sunflower lecithin), coconut oil used in this processed context, natural vanilla flavouring, and gelling agent (pectins). These additives and refined ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing under NOVA.
