Toffee Ice Cream

Barcode 5060157911012

Yes — Toffee Ice Cream is ultra-processed.

A tasty treat, but best enjoyed occasionally rather than every day.

This is likely a toffee-flavoured ice cream made with milk, cream, skim milk powder, sugar, syrup, and sweetened condensed milk. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified starch, an industrially modified thickener, and caramel colour, an extracted colouring additive. These additives indicate an industrial formulation. The toffee pieces and sweetened condensed milk also make it a ready-to-eat processed dessert.
