What makes it ultra-processed

Cosmetic additives

Added to change how the food looks, feels or tastes, not to keep it safe. A hallmark of ultra-processed food.

  • E127 Erythrosine Erythrosine is a synthetic red dye (FD&C Red No. 3 in the US).
  • Colour Colours are added to restore colour lost in processing or to make a product look more appealing.
