Yes — Sourdough Breaded Cod Fillets is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several UPF ingredients and additives, including yeast extract, dextrose, garlic extract, and black pepper extract, which are industrially processed flavor enhancers or refined sugars according to NOVA-style criteria. Even though many components are basic culinary ingredients (fish, wheat flour, oil, etc.), the presence of these UPF additives makes the overall product UPF.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several UPF ingredients and additives, including yeast extract, dextrose, garlic extract, and black pepper extract, which are industrially processed flavor enhancers or refined sugars according to NOVA-style 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.
