The ingredients are cherries, sugar, pectin (a traditional gelling agent), and basic acidity regulators (citric acid, calcium citrates).

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.
