Yes — flamin hot chicken strips is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). It contains several industrial ingredients and additives characteristic of NOVA Group 4, including glucose syrup, corn dextrose (both refined, industrial sugars), modified potato starch, stabiliser (triphosphates), thickener (xanthan gum), spice extract, paprika oleoresin, and the pre-identified UPF ingredients raising agents: diphosphates and yeast extract. These additives and industrial formulations go beyond basic culinary ingredients and therefore place the product in the UPF category.
