Yes — Pizza pepperoni-salame is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This is an ultra-processed ready-to-eat pizza-style product. The pepperoni-salami and salami are industrially processed meat products containing dextrose, sodium nitrite, smoke, and spice extracts. Dextrose is an industrially refined sugar, while sodium nitrite and smoke are processing additives associated with industrial formulations. The product also contains maltodextrin, an industrially processed carbohydrate, and pepper extract, an isolated flavoring ingredient. These ingredients meet the stated criteria for ultra-processing. The wheat flour is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which does not itself make the product ultra-processed, and the rapeseed and extra-virgin olive oils are basic culinary oils.

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.
