Yes — Sticky toffee pudding is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Sticky toffee pudding is classified as ultra-processed because it contains invert sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar syrup in the sauce. The product also contains diphosphates, a synthesized raising agent; however, the decisive UPF ingredient is invert sugar syrup. The remaining ingredients are mostly conventional foods and basic culinary ingredients, including flour, dates, sugar, butter, cream, eggs, salt, and fortification nutrients.
