Common questions about Pâte d'abricot

Is Pâte d'abricot ultra-processed?

Yes — Pâte d'abricot is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains added flavouring (rose flavouring), an acidity regulator (citric acid is allowed but presence of added flavouring makes it UPF), and is an industrial ready-to-eat spread.

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.
