Contains erythritol (a purified sugar alcohol) and steviol glycosides (an extracted/intensely refined sweetener), which are industrially processed additives used as sweeteners, so it is classified as an ultra-processed food (UPF) under NOVA.
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.
