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.

Yes — Half & Half Medium by Warburtons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). 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.
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.
