Cherry Walnut White Chocolate Dessert

Barcode 5063334027605

Yes — Cherry Walnut White Chocolate Dessert is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives: glucose-fructose syrup (industrially extracted sugar syrup), flavouring (industrial flavouring agents), emulsifiers (soya lecithins; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), stabiliser sorbitol, gelling agent pectins, and palm fat (highly processed refined oil). These additives and refined ingredients place it in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
