Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Protein Blueberry is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives. In particular: natural flavouring (an extracted/industrial flavour additive explicitly identified as UPF); grape juice concentrate and blueberry puree from concentrate (industrially concentrated sugars and flavours); waxy maize starch (a refined, industrial starch used as a texture modifier); and steviol glycosides from stevia (an extracted high-intensity sweetener). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.

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

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
