Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although based on cultured yogurt, the presence of milk protein concentrate and texturizing agents (tapioca starch, pectin) are industrial additives used to modify texture and shelf behavior, consistent with an ultra-processed (NOVA 4) formulation.
