Yes — Lemon Dessert is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This appears to be a lemon dessert containing milk, sponge-cake pieces, and lemon preparation. It is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup ("sciroppo di glucosio"), natural flavourings ("aromi naturali" and lemon natural flavouring), potassium sorbate, glycerol, fatty-acid monostearate, and lactic-acid esters of fatty acids. These industrial sweeteners, flavourings, preservatives, stabilizers, and emulsifying agents are characteristic of ultra-processed formulations. Pectin, citric acid, sugar, flour, eggs, milk, and baking agents alone would not determine a UPF classification.

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.
