Barcode 6063714021260

No — Truffle Cream Sauce is not ultra-processed.

The ingredient list consists entirely of basic culinary ingredients: dairy products (milk, cream, butter, cheeses, whey), egg, maize starch, salt, truffle, and black pepper. Maize starch is a common basic ingredient and not an industrial flavoring or additive in the sense of NOVA ultra-processing. There are no artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, palm fruit oil, or other characteristic ultra-processed additives. Therefore, under NOVA, this is not classified as ultra-processed (likely NOVA group 3: processed foods).

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

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.
