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.
- E14xx Modified Starch Modified starches (E1400 to E1452) are starches treated physically, with enzymes or chemically so that they thicken and hold up to heating, freezing or acidity better than ordinary starch.
- E150c Ammonia caramel Ammonia caramel is a brown colour made by heating sugars with ammonia compounds.
- E420 Sorbitol Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and to keep products moist.
- E422 Glycerol Glycerol is a sweet-tasting liquid used to keep products moist and soft.
- E903 Carnauba wax Carnauba wax comes from the leaves of a Brazilian palm and gives sweets and coated chocolates their shine.
- Colour Colours are added to restore colour lost in processing or to make a product look more appealing.
