Yes — Classic Fillets is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Classic Fillets are ultra-processed because they contain yeast extract, a concentrated industrial flavor enhancer used to intensify savory taste. The product also combines multiple refined flours, wheat protein, starch, stock, and other processing ingredients in a ready-to-eat coated formulation, consistent with industrial processing. The rapeseed oil, sugar, fortified flour, vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, spices, and dried vegetables are not individually decisive under the stated criteria.
Other meat & poultry Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

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.
