Fruit Pastry

Barcode 5060309071175

Yes — Fruit Pastry is ultra-processed.

A sweet fruit pastry, but industrial additives make it UPF.

This is a fruit pastry made with sultanas, currants, wheat flour, butter, cinnamon, and egg wash. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, an industrial emulsifier, as well as palm oil in the margarine and shortening. The pre-identified UPF ingredients curcumin, annatto norbixin, and flavouring also contribute to the classification. Fortified wheat flour, sugar, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, butter, salt, cinnamon, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and sodium bicarbonate do not independently make it UPF.
