Reduced Fat Evaporated Milk

Barcode 5010251778530

Yes — Reduced Fat Evaporated Milk is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains a stabiliser (sodium phosphates), which is an industrial additive used to modify texture and stability, fitting NOVA criteria for UPF. The base ingredient (semi-skimmed milk) and vitamin D fortification are not UPF, but the presence of the stabiliser makes the overall product UPF.
