Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial sweeteners and additives: sorbitol (a polyol sweetener produced industrially) and magnesium stearate (an emulsifier/processing aid). These extracted and synthesized additives place the product in the UPF category under NOVA.
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.
