Yes — Dairylea Dunkers is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Dairylea Dunkers is ultra-processed under the NOVA classification because it contains several industrially formulated ingredients and additives. The contributing ingredients include milk protein, emulsifying salt (polyphosphates), modified starch, acidity regulator (lactic acid), palm oil, flavourings, emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), and yeast extract. These additives and industrially processed components indicate an ultra-processed cheese dip and snack formulation.

Yes — Dairylea Dunkers by Mondelez is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Dairylea Dunkers is ultra-processed under the NOVA classification because it contains several industrially formulated ingredients and additives. The contributing ingredients include milk protein, emulsifying salt (polyphosphates), modified starch, acidity regulator (lactic acid), palm oil, flavourings, emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), and yeast extract. These additives and industrially processed components indicate an ultra-processed cheese dip and snack formulation.
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.
