Yes — 6 Cherry Bakewells is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including glucose-fructose syrup, glucose syrup, dextrose (all industrially refined sugars), emulsifiers (sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60), gelling agent (pectin), preservatives (potassium sorbate, sulphur dioxide), and flavouring. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and place the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category. Dextrose is a pre-identified UPF ingredient, so its presence alone is sufficient to classify the product as UPF.
