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.

Yes — Vanilla Clotted Cream Ice Cream by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). 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.
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.
