Yes — Snickers Ice Cream New Recipe is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA Group 4, including: glucose syrup (refined isolated sugar), emulsifiers (soy lecithin, E471 mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), stabilisers/thickeners (E407 carrageenan, E410 locust bean gum, E412 guar gum), and palm fat/oil which is a highly processed refined oil. The presence of these ingredients classifies the product as UPF even though it also contains basic ingredients like milk, sugar, cocoa, and peanuts.

Yes — Snickers Ice Cream New Recipe by Snickers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA Group 4, including: glucose syrup (refined isolated sugar), emulsifiers (soy lecithin, E471 mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), stabilisers/thickeners (E407 carrageenan, E410 locust bean gum, E412 guar gum), and palm fat/oil which is a highly processed refined oil. The presence of these ingredients classifies the product as UPF even though it also contains basic ingredients like milk, sugar, cocoa, and peanuts.
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.
