No — Salmon Fishcakes is not ultra-processed.
The product consists mainly of whole and minimally processed ingredients: salmon, potatoes, wheat flour, rapeseed oil, onions, herbs, spices, and basic seasonings. The additives present (fortified wheat flour, paprika extract for colour, fish stock components, and yeast) are traditional or basic culinary/fortification ingredients. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, gelling agents, isolated industrial sugars (like glucose syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin), artificial or “natural” flavourings, or highly processed fats like palm fruit oil. Therefore, under the provided NOVA-based rules, it should not be classified as 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.
