Yogurt Rice Snack

Barcode 4069365194249

Yes — Yogurt Rice Snack is ultra-processed.

This product is ultra-processed because it includes several industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods. These include glucose syrup (an industrially extracted refined sugar), modified starch (a chemically/physically altered starch used as a texturizer), citric acid used as an added acidity regulator, generic flavouring/yogurt flavouring (industrial flavour formulations), potassium sorbate as a preservative, and titanium dioxide as a colour additive. The presence of these multiple cosmetic and functional additives, beyond basic culinary ingredients, classifies the product as UPF.
