No — Scottish Salmon Fishcakes is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list contains mainly whole or basic culinary ingredients (fish, potato, wheat flour, cream, oils, herbs, spices). Fortified wheat flour, fish stock, and lemon juice from concentrate are processed but do not involve ultra-processing additives like emulsifiers, industrial sweeteners, or flavor enhancers. No ingredients such as maltodextrin, glucose syrup, artificial flavors, colorings, or emulsifiers are present, so this would not be classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

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.
