Coffee Dessert

Barcode 4061459530155
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Coffee Dessert is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

Coffee Dessert is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: glucose-fructose syrup is an industrially refined sugar; plain caramel and carotenes are added colours; flavouring is an industrial flavour additive; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids are emulsifiers; and guar gum is a thickener used in industrial formulations. These ingredients contribute to the UPF classification. Pectins, sodium alginate, and locust bean gum are traditional or functional food ingredients, but the product remains UPF because of the other additives.
