Yes — Cod Fish Fingers is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Cod fish fingers are classified as ultra-processed because they contain curcumin as a colour, which is a pre-identified UPF ingredient and an extracted additive. The product is also a ready-to-eat processed food, although the wheat flour, rapeseed oil, starches, salt, yeast, paprika extract, turmeric, and fortified flour ingredients are not independently decisive under the stated criteria.
