Not a great choice for everyday.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, flavourings, xanthan gum, and chicken powder (1%), which are industrially processed additives or formulations associated with NOVA ultra-processed foods. The product also contains a gelling agent, agar, and acidity regulator, lactic acid; these alone would not necessarily make it ultra-processed, but the identified UPF ingredients are sufficient for classification.
