Yes — Chargrilled Chicken 17g Protein is ultra-processed.
UPF: Palm oil is a pre-identified ultra-processed ingredient because it is a highly refined industrial oil. Its presence means the product is classified as ultra-processed. The product also contains several processed purées, extracts, concentrated apple juice, potato starch, and added oils, but palm oil is the decisive UPF ingredient.

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.
