Spray Cream

Barcode 5010251602842

Yes — Spray Cream is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives, specifically the emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and the stabiliser carrageenan. These are extracted/industrial ingredients used to modify texture and stability, which fits the NOVA definition of ultra-processed foods. The presence of basic ingredients like cream and sugar does not offset the UPF classification once such additives are included.
