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.

E150 Caramel A food additive authorised for industrial food production.
E422 Glycerol Glycerol is a sweet-tasting liquid used to keep products moist and soft.
E955 Sucralose Sucralose is a sweetener made by chlorinating sugar.
E965 Maltitol Maltitol is a sugar alcohol made from starch, used as a sweetener in "no added sugar" sweets and chocolate.
Colour Colours are added to restore colour lost in processing or to make a product look more appealing.
Humectant Humectants are substances which prevent foods from drying out by counteracting the effect of an atmosphere having a low degree of humidity, or promote the dissolution of a powder in an aqueous medium.
