Yes — Garlic and Herb Dusted Basa Fillets is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains dextrose and yeast extract, both of which are industrially processed ingredients classified as UPF. The dusted, ready-to-cook fish preparation also represents a formulated processed food, although the main ingredients—basa, fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, herbs, spices, and salt—are not independently UPF under the stated criteria.
Other fish & seafood Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Garlic and Herb Dusted Basa Fillets by THE FISHMONGER is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains dextrose and yeast extract, both of which are industrially processed ingredients classified as UPF. The dusted, ready-to-cook fish preparation also represents a formulated processed food, although the main ingredients—basa, fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, herbs, spices, and salt—are not independently UPF under the stated 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.
