Yes — Assorted Fruit Flavour Chews is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Fruit Gummies are ultra-processed because they contain several industrial formulations and additives: glucose syrup, dextrose, and maltodextrin are refined industrial sugars; fully hydrogenated palm vegetable oil is a highly processed fat; flavourings are industrial flavour additives; E471 and E322 are emulsifiers; and sorbitol is an industrial humectant. The product also uses added colours, including E160a and E120. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation rather than a minimally processed food.

Yes — Assorted Fruit Flavour Chews by Sweeties is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Fruit Gummies are ultra-processed because they contain several industrial formulations and additives: glucose syrup, dextrose, and maltodextrin are refined industrial sugars; fully hydrogenated palm vegetable oil is a highly processed fat; flavourings are industrial flavour additives; E471 and E322 are emulsifiers; and sorbitol is an industrial humectant. The product also uses added colours, including E160a and E120. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation rather than a minimally processed food.
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.
