Product is UPF because it contains industrial ingredients/additives including: glucose syrup (industrially refined sugar syrup), emulsifier (soya lecithin), natural vanilla flavouring, glazing agent (gum arabic), and refined palm oil. Any one of these is sufficient to classify it as an ultra-processed food under NOVA; together they clearly indicate an industrial formulation.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
