Caramel Biscuit Cheesecake

Barcode 5029872018499
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Caramel Biscuit Cheesecake is ultra-processed.

A highly processed dessert, best enjoyed occasionally.

This appears to be a caramel biscuit cheesecake. It is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: palm oil, which is highly refined; inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar syrup; raising agents including sodium carbonates; modified starch, an extracted and modified thickener; natural flavouring; and soya lecithins, an emulsifier. These ingredients contribute to its NOVA ultra-processed classification. The added vitamins and minerals, rapeseed oil, flour, sugar, salt, and dairy ingredients do not independently make it ultra-processed.
