Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Tube it is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, specifically modified tapioca starch, modified maize starch, flavouring, stabiliser (guar gum), and preservative (potassium sorbate). Modified starches are pre-identified UPF ingredients, and the presence of flavouring and preservatives further confirms UPF classification under NOVA.
