Yes — Madeleines by Primo is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Product is ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains several NOVA group-4 markers: glucose syrup (sirop de glucoză), dextrose, industrial margarine with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, preservatives (potassium sorbate), added flavouring (aromă), and emulsifier (glycerin). These are industrial formulations and additives not used in home cooking.
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.
