Bruschetta Mezze Topping

Barcode 5029223001736

No — Bruschetta Mezze Topping is not ultra-processed.

Great choice! Made with simple, recognizable ingredients.

This vegetable and olive topping is made mainly from recognizable vegetables, olives, culinary oils, vinegar, herbs, salt, grape juice, sugar, corn starch, and ascorbic acid. None of these ingredients meet the specified ultra-processing criteria: sunflower oil and extra virgin olive oil are basic culinary oils, sugar is a basic single-ingredient food, corn starch is a basic food ingredient, and ascorbic acid is a basic antioxidant additive. The product is therefore not classified as ultra-processed.

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.
