What makes it processed

Processed ingredients

Processed foods in their own right, such as cheese or milk powder.

  • Milk powder Milk powder is milk with the water evaporated off: a preserved form of a whole food rather than an industrial extract.

Culinary ingredients

Kitchen staples like sugar, salt and oil. On their own they make a food processed, not ultra-processed.

  • Honey Honey, used as a sweetener.
  • Vegetable oil Vegetable oils are pressed or extracted from seeds, nuts and fruits.
