Barcode 5000462653986
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Vanilla Clotted Cream Ice Cream is ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid. This is likely a vanilla clotted cream ice cream based on skimmed milk, sugar, butteroil, dried skimmed milk, and Cornish clotted cream. It must be classified as ultra-processed because it contains pre-identified UPF ingredients: dried glucose syrup and emulsifier (mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids). It also includes other industrial additives such as stabilisers (guar gum, locust bean gum) and colour (algal carotenes), which are extracted/isolated additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods.
