Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Half & Half Medium is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients and additives including vegetable oils (rapeseed and sustainable palm), emulsifiers (E471, E472e), soya flour, preservative (calcium propionate), flavouring, and flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate industrial formulation characteristic of UPFs.
