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.

- E950 Acesulfame k Acesulfame K is a synthetic sweetener about 200 times sweeter than sugar, often combined with aspartame or sucralose.
- E951 Aspartame Aspartame is a synthetic sweetener about 200 times sweeter than sugar, used in diet drinks and sugar-free products.
- E952 Cyclamic acid and its Na and Ca salts Sweeteners are substances used to impart a sweet taste to foods or in table-top sweeteners.
- E954 Saccharin and its salts Sweeteners are substances used to impart a sweet taste to foods or in table-top sweeteners.
- Sweetener Sweeteners give sweetness with few or no calories, many at hundreds of times the strength of sugar.
