Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and highly processed ingredients: partially inverted sugar syrup (an industrially processed sugar syrup), colour E150c (caramel colour), palm oil (highly processed refined oil), barley malt extract (industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer), and preservative calcium propionate. Presence of any such additives makes the product UPF under NOVA guidelines.
