No artificial flavourings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils are present. Minor transcription errors in the ingredient wording do not prevent the ingredients from being understood.

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.
