Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Tesco Rocket Lollies is ultra-processed.

A fun treat, but not ideal for everyday eating.

Tesco Rocket Lollies are ultra-processed because they contain dextrose and glucose syrup, which are industrially extracted and processed sugars, as well as stabiliser (guar gum), an industrial stabilising additive. Flavourings also contribute to the industrial formulation. The acids, colours, and acidity regulator do not independently determine the classification, but the identified UPF ingredients are sufficient for a UPF classification.
