Scanned 14 times by Nomi users

Yes — Mini Orange is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because the ingredients include several industrial additives and sweeteners: sucralose and acesulfame K (artificial sweeteners), natural orange flavouring with other natural flavourings (industrial flavouring), emulsifier (glycerol esters of wood rosins), stabiliser (sucrose acetate isobutyrate), and preservatives (potassium sorbate, sodium metabisulphite). According to NOVA, the presence of such additives that modify flavor, texture, stability, and sweetness beyond traditional culinary use makes this an ultra-processed product.
