Salt and Pepper Fries

Barcode 4088600396682
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Salt and Pepper Fries is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed additives and ingredients: modified potato starch, potato dextrin, maltodextrin, paprika extract, and xanthan gum (listed as a thickener). These ingredients are characteristic of industrial formulations and contribute to the UPF classification. The fries also contain added oil, flour, seasonings, raising agents, and colouring, but the listed industrial ingredients are the decisive factors.
