What makes it ultra-processed
Cosmetic additives

Substances rarely used in home kitchens
Refined or extracted in factories, such as syrups made from starch or isolated proteins. The other hallmark of ultra-processed food.
- Gluten Wheat gluten, sold as "vital wheat gluten", is the protein washed out of wheat flour.
- Maltodextrin Maltodextrin is a white powder made by partly breaking down starch.
