Iced Madeira Cake

Barcode 5010251987666
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Iced Madeira Cake is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

Iced Madeira is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and formulations, including flavouring, potassium sorbate, emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate), and antioxidant E202 (potassium sorbate). The vegetable glycerin contains palm oil, which is treated as a highly processed refined oil under this classification. Sorbitol is also an industrial humectant. Sugar, fortified wheat flour, glycerin, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, and salt do not independently make it ultra-processed, but the listed additives do.
