Yes — Lemon and Herb Basa is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

Lemon and Herb Basa is ultra-processed because the tempura coating contains maltodextrin, palm fat, raising agents containing diphosphates, lemon oil, and flavouring. These industrially processed ingredients and additives are characteristic of ultra-processed formulations. The fish, rapeseed oil, herbs, fortified wheat flour, and other basic ingredients do not independently make the product ultra-processed, but the identified coating ingredients do.
