Organic Super Firm Tofu

Q: Why is Organic Super Firm Tofu classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is categorized as NOVA 4 because, in addition to organic soybeans and water, the formulation includes firming agents calcium chloride (E509) and magnesium chloride (E511) as well as a small portion of permitted non‑organic ingredients; these additives raise its processing level to ultra‑processed.
