Banana Yogurt

Barcode 5036589253297
Not Ultra-Processed

No — Banana Yogurt is not ultra-processed.

The ingredients are mostly whole or minimally processed foods: organic yogurt (milk), water, organic banana puree, organic banana, organic maize starch, organic concentrated lemon juice, and lactase enzyme. None of the listed ingredients are industrial additives or markers of ultra-processing in the NOVA system (no artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, thickeners, flavor enhancers, or industrial sugar syrups). Lactase enzyme is used to break down lactose and does not make the product 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.
