Yes — High Lights Milk Chocolate Drink is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed; best enjoyed occasionally rather than daily.
This is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: glucose syrup, palm oil, milk protein, flavouring, and emulsifier E471. It also contains artificial sweeteners (acesulfame K/E950 and sucralose), an additional emulsifier (E442), thickener carrageenan (E407), and soluble maize fibre/inulin used in a formulated drink. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial processing beyond basic culinary preparation.

Yes — High Lights Milk Chocolate Drink by Cadbury is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: glucose syrup, palm oil, milk protein, flavouring, and emulsifier E471. It also contains artificial sweeteners (acesulfame K/E950 and sucralose), an additional emulsifier (E442), thickener carrageenan (E407), and soluble maize fibre/inulin used in a formulated drink. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial processing beyond basic culinary preparation.
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.
