Tropical Wonder

Barcode 5060276370936

Yes — Tropical Wonder is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

Tropical Wonder is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted sugar, as well as natural flavouring, which is an industrial flavour additive. It also contains paprika extract, a pre-identified UPF ingredient, and acidulant: citric acid, which is pre-identified here as contributing to the UPF classification. Coconut and rapeseed oil are basic oils, and pectin, sugar, curcumin, anthocyanins, and carnauba wax do not independently determine the classification. The product is therefore UPF because of its industrially processed sugars and flavouring additives.
