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.

  • E621 Monosodium glutamate Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, made by fermentation and used to strengthen savoury taste.
2 ingredients that would only make it processed

  • Meals Products in the category "Meals" are at least group 3.
  • Sugar Sugar refined from sugar cane or beet.
