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.

Flavouring Flavourings are concentrated aroma preparations that add or intensify a taste.

Honey Honey, used as a sweetener.
Salt Salt, added for taste and preservation.
Sugar Sugar refined from sugar cane or beet.
