Common questions about Seasoning Mix

Is Seasoning Mix ultra-processed?

Yes — Seasoning Mix is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains margarine, which is typically made with refined and often hydrogenated oils and emulsifiers, making it an industrial formulation.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
