Scanned 7 times by Nomi users

Yes — White Chocolate Ice Cream is ultra-processed.

This is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup and fructose, which are industrially extracted and processed sugars; emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides, E471, and lecithins); natural vanilla flavouring, an industrial flavouring additive; and colour (carotenes), a pre-identified UPF colouring additive. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing. The stabilisers guar gum, tara gum, locust bean gum, and carrageenan are not the factors driving the classification.
