Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives: stabilizer (E415 – xanthan gum or similar), acidity regulators (E260 – acetic acid, E330 – citric acid), preservative (E202 – potassium sorbate). These extracted/synthesized additives used to modify texture, stability, and shelf life meet the NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
