Not a great choice for everyday.

This appears to be a dairy-based dip or cultured dairy product. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains milk protein, modified starch, stabiliser (xanthan gum), and preservative (potassium sorbate). These industrially formulated ingredients and additives are UPF markers under the NOVA classification. The other ingredients, including skimmed milk, cream, acidified skimmed milk, culture, and salt, do not independently determine the classification.
