Matcha Wellness Blend

Barcode 5060594551154
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Matcha Wellness Blend is ultra-processed.

Not ideal for everyday use due to its industrially processed extract.

This appears to be a matcha-based wellness powder containing organic Japanese matcha, ginger powder, lion’s mane mushroom extract, and KSM-66 ashwagandha root extract. It is classified as ultra-processed because lion’s mane mushroom extract is a pre-identified UPF ingredient: it is an extracted, isolated ingredient produced through industrial processing. The presence of this ingredient is sufficient for a UPF classification.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
