Yes — Just Add Crispy Unsmoked Bacon Strips by Mark&Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains curing salt with sodium nitrite (a preservative) and antioxidant E301 (sodium ascorbate), which are industrial additives used in processed meat products, classifying it 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.
