Barcode 5900120006140
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Śmietankowy Dessert is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains carrageenan (karagen), which is an industrially extracted gelling/thickening agent used as a stabilizer. Such additives place foods in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though the base ingredients (milk, cream, sugar, butter, egg white) are minimally processed.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?
