Yes — Hoisin No Duck is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a pre-identified UPF flavor enhancer. It also contains palm oil, a highly processed refined oil, and invert sugar syrup in the black treacle, an industrially processed syrup. The tortilla wrap and texturised wheat pieces are industrial formulations, further supporting the UPF classification.

Yes — Hoisin No Duck by Plant Pioneers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a pre-identified UPF flavor enhancer. It also contains palm oil, a highly processed refined oil, and invert sugar syrup in the black treacle, an industrially processed syrup. The tortilla wrap and texturised wheat pieces are industrial formulations, further supporting the UPF classification.
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.
