Yes — Potato Waffles is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Potato Waffles are classified as ultra-processed because they contain dextrose, an industrially extracted refined sugar identified as a UPF ingredient, and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, an industrially modified stabilizer. These additives go beyond basic culinary processing and indicate an industrial formulation.

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.
