Yes — Cheese Bacon Bake is ultra-processed.
This cheese and bacon bake is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. These include dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), antioxidant sodium ascorbate, preservative sodium nitrite in the smoked reformed bacon, and palm oil, which is a highly refined oil. The presence of reformed bacon with added water and starch further indicates industrial processing beyond home cooking methods.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
