No — Fairtrade Cane Icing Sugar by Tate & Lyle is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredient list is valid. Contains icing sugar (97%) and maize starch, both of which are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids characteristic of ultra-processed foods 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.
