Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial additives: preservatives (potassium sorbate, calcium propionate), emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), and a stabiliser (glycerine). Preservatives and emulsifiers are clear markers of ultra-processing in the NOVA system. While glycerine itself is considered a simple extraction and not UPF on its own, in combination with these other additives it contributes to the overall classification as an ultra-processed product.
The NOVA system classifies foods into four groups based on how much industrial processing they've undergone. This product falls into Group 4 — ultra-processed food products containing industrial additives such as emulsifiers, flavour enhancers, or hydrogenated oils.
