NOVA Classification

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of UPFs. Specifically, refined palm and palm kernel oils (listed as vegetable fats including palm, palm kernel, shea/illipe/mango kernel/kokum gurgi/sal) are highly processed oils, and the emulsifiers sunflower lecithin and soya lecithin are industrially extracted additives. The presence of 'natural vanilla flavourings' and 'natural flavourings' also indicates added industrial flavoring agents. According to the provided criteria, any of these ingredients is sufficient to classify the product as ultra-processed.
