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.
- E428 Gelatine Gelatine is a gelling agent made from collagen in animal skin and bones.
- E903 Carnauba wax Carnauba wax comes from the leaves of a Brazilian palm and gives sweets and coated chocolates their shine.
- E968 Erythritol Humectants are substances which prevent foods from drying out by counteracting the effect of an atmosphere having a low degree of humidity, or promote the dissolution of a powder in an aqueous medium.
- Flavouring Flavourings are concentrated aroma preparations that add or intensify a taste.
- Glazing agent Glazing agents, waxes and shellac for example, coat a surface to make it shiny or stop pieces sticking together.
- Sweetener Sweeteners give sweetness with few or no calories, many at hundreds of times the strength of sugar.
