Yes — Classic Latte is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to several industrial additives.
This is a coffee-and-milk drink. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, which are industrial flavouring additives, as well as gellan gum, a stabiliser, and carrageenan, a thickening or gelling additive. These additives indicate an industrial formulation. Potassium carbonate, sugar, coffee, coffee extract, water, and semi-skimmed milk do not independently make the product ultra-processed.

Yes — Classic Latte by Costa Coffee is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a coffee-and-milk drink. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, which are industrial flavouring additives, as well as gellan gum, a stabiliser, and carrageenan, a thickening or gelling additive. These additives indicate an industrial formulation. Potassium carbonate, sugar, coffee, coffee extract, water, and semi-skimmed milk do not independently make the product ultra-processed.
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.
