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.

  • E420 Sorbitol Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and to keep products moist.
  • E440 Pectins Pectins are gelling agents extracted from citrus peel or apple pomace.
  • Gelling agent Gelling agents such as pectin, gelatine or carrageenan set liquids into gels and stabilise textures.
  • Sweetener Sweeteners give sweetness with few or no calories, many at hundreds of times the strength of sugar.
