The only ingredient is a basic leavening agent (raising agent e500 – sodium carbonates), which is considered a basic food additive and not an industrial ultra-processed formulation according to the given criteria.
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.
