Cod Liver Oil Supplement

Barcode 5059604684890
Not Ultra-Processed

No — Cod Liver Oil Supplement is not ultra-processed.

This appears to be a simple cod liver oil dietary supplement with added vitamins A and D and concentrated omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). These are basic nutrient components rather than industrial flavorings, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or other cosmetic additives typical of ultra-processed foods, so it does not fit the NOVA definition of an ultra-processed product.

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.
