Barcode 5057172909216

Yes — Cheese & Tomato Flatbread is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF additive acidity regulator (citric acid), which is an industrially extracted additive used to control acidity. Other ingredients are mostly basic culinary items (fortified wheat flour, mozzarella cheese, tomato products, rapeseed oil, yeast, salt, herbs and spices), but the presence of citric acid is sufficient under the given rules to classify the overall product as UPF.

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.
