Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This is a ready-to-eat processed croquette product containing natural flavourings, which are industrial flavouring additives classified as ultra-processed. It also contains multiple processed protein and starch components, including rehydrated pea proteins, soy proteins, and tapioca starch, reinforcing its industrial formulation. Potassium acetates, buffered vinegar, and vegan lactic acid are acidity regulators or preservatives; these alone would not necessarily determine UPF status, but the natural flavourings and ready-to-eat formulation do.
