Yes — Gluten-Free Salted Caramel Chocolate Tarts is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday eating.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives classified as UPF: glucose syrup, dextrose, dextrin, palm oil, invert sugar syrup, oligofructose syrup, flavouring, lecithins, sucrose esters of fatty acids, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, and xanthan gum. These include refined industrial sugars, highly processed oil, flavouring, emulsifiers, and a thickener. The other ingredients, such as sugar, fructose, brown rice syrup, rapeseed oil, glycerol, citric acid, starches, cocoa, coconut milk, and almond, do not independently determine the classification, but the UPF ingredients are sufficient to classify the tarts as ultra-processed.
