Yes — TUC Cheese Sandwich is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This cheese sandwich cracker is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, barley malt extract, and soya lecithin. Glucose syrup is an industrially refined sugar; barley malt extract is an industrially processed extract used to enhance flavour; and soya lecithin is an emulsifier, an industrial additive. Palm oil is also a highly processed and refined oil product. The other ingredients, such as wheat flour, cheese, whey, eggs, salt, and raising agents, do not independently determine the classification.

Yes — TUC Cheese Sandwich by Tuc is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cheese sandwich cracker is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, barley malt extract, and soya lecithin. Glucose syrup is an industrially refined sugar; barley malt extract is an industrially processed extract used to enhance flavour; and soya lecithin is an emulsifier, an industrial additive. Palm oil is also a highly processed and refined oil product. The other ingredients, such as wheat flour, cheese, whey, eggs, salt, and raising agents, do not independently determine the classification.
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.
