Scanned 14 times by Nomi users

Yes — Rowntrees Randoms Pouch 150G is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients and additives including glucose syrup, fructose, invert sugar syrup (industrially processed sugars), palm oil (highly refined oil), natural flavourings (industrial flavouring agents), stabilisers (carrageenan, locust bean gum), humectant (glycerol), glazing agent (carnauba wax), and added acidity regulators. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
