NOVA 4 ultra-processed: fortified, emulsified, acidity-regulated sugar drink

Ingredients (15)

Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
Soybeans (13.6%) (safe) — The one genuinely nutritious component — plant protein and isoflavones — but only 13.6% of the drink.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Tricalcium phosphate (mineral) (safe) — Added calcium fortification; useful but a sign nutrients were engineered back in.
Emulsifier E460i (microcrystalline cellulose) (moderate) — Texturizer/stabilizer to hold the drink together; marker of ultra-processing.
Emulsifier E466 (carboxymethyl cellulose) (moderate) — Second stacked emulsifier; some evidence it may disturb gut lining at high intake.
Oligofructose (dietary fibre, 0.25%) (safe) — A token prebiotic fibre at just 0.25% — more for the 'with fibre' claim than real benefit.
Acidity regulator E500ii (sodium bicarbonate) (safe) — pH buffer; harmless but another processing aid.
Flavours (nature-identical substances) (moderate) — Synthetic vanilla flavouring, not real vanilla. Cosmetic additive.
EDIBLE COMMON SALT (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance.
vitamin E acetate (safe) — Added as an antioxidant to protect quality.
Vitamin A Acetate (safe) — Fortification vitamin, part of the 'goodness' positioning.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine mononitrate) (safe) — Fortification.
vitamin B2 (riboflavin) (safe) — Fortification B vitamin.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) (safe) — Useful B12 for a vegan drink.
