Common questions about Morrisons

Is Morrisons ultra-processed?

The ingredients are mainly basic culinary ingredients and minimally processed foods (flours, cheeses, tomatoes, oils, herbs, salt, sugar, yeast).

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
