Yes — Our Best Ever Fishcake is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This fishcake is ultra-processed because it contains paprika extract and yeast extract, both identified as UPF ingredients. These extracted flavouring ingredients are industrially processed additives that contribute to the classification. The product also contains several refined and formulated components, including wheat starch, potato flakes, and added flavouring extracts, within a prepared ready-to-eat fishcake.
