Yes — 4 Reduced-Fat Beef Quarter Pounders is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF ingredients gluten-free crumb, which includes dextrose, and flavouring. Dextrose is an industrially extracted and processed sugar, while flavouring is an extracted or synthesized additive. The product also contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer, and sodium metabisulphite, an industrial preservative, which further support the UPF 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.
