No, it isn't full of anything like that.
"Reduced fat extra thick cream

With 50% less fat than standard thick double cream but all the delicious
flavour, this cream contains 24% fat. It is not suitable for whipping or
boiling."

or

"Extra thick single cream

This has the same fat content as single cream (18%) but it has been
homogenised to produce a thick spoonable consistency similar to double
cream: it cannot be whipped."

Both are just cream, very tasty.
