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.
