Fruit Puree

Barcode 5060139436892
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Fruit Puree is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday, despite its mostly fruit-based composition.

This appears to be a fruit purée made primarily from apples, pears, and berries. It is classified as ultra-processed because black carrot extract is a pre-identified UPF ingredient: an extracted additive used for coloring or formulation. The fruit ingredients themselves are minimally processed, but the presence of this industrially extracted additive makes the product UPF under the specified criteria.
