The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including natural flavouring (an industrial flavouring), methyl cellulose (a thickener), barley malt extract (industrially processed extract), and pea/soya protein isolates (isolated protein fractions).

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.
