Yes — Soy Patty by Vemondo is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes isoglucose syrup (a refined industrial sugar) and barley malt extract in the yeast, both of which are industrial formulations used as additives/flavor enhancers according to NOVA criteria.
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.
