Yes — Bami Goreng is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Bami Goreng is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed components: triphosphates and diphosphates as stabilisers, modified maize starch, yeast extract as a flavour enhancer, natural flavouring, sodium nitrite as a preservative, and a ready-to-eat prepared meal formulation. Carrageenan, buffered vinegar, lactic acid, and sodium ascorbate are not decisive on their own under the specified guidance, but the listed UPF ingredients are sufficient for classification.

Yes — Bami Goreng by Chef Select is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Bami Goreng is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed components: triphosphates and diphosphates as stabilisers, modified maize starch, yeast extract as a flavour enhancer, natural flavouring, sodium nitrite as a preservative, and a ready-to-eat prepared meal formulation. Carrageenan, buffered vinegar, lactic acid, and sodium ascorbate are not decisive on their own under the specified guidance, but the listed UPF ingredients are sufficient for classification.
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.
