The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and formulations, including stabilisers (locust bean gum, gellan gum), an emulsifier (lecithins), and natural flavouring. According to the NOVA classification, these ingredients move the product beyond minimally processed foods into the ultra-processed category.
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.
