Not a great choice for everyday.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer used to intensify savory taste. It also includes seaweed extract, an extracted additive, and coconut extract, an industrially isolated ingredient used in the dressing. These industrially processed ingredients and formulated sauces meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The other ingredients, such as rice, chicken, vegetables, spices, sugar, rapeseed oil, and basic starches, do not independently determine the classification.
