Yes — PEPPERONI PIZZA is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose (an industrially refined sugar) and several industrial additives in the pepperoni, including antioxidants (sodium ascorbate, ascorbic acid, rosemary extract), preservative (sodium nitrite), and standardized extracts (paprika extract, white pepper extract, chilli extract). These extracted, isolated, or synthesized additives make the overall product ultra-processed under NOVA.

Yes — PEPPERONI PIZZA by EVERYDAY Essentials is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose (an industrially refined sugar) and several industrial additives in the pepperoni, including antioxidants (sodium ascorbate, ascorbic acid, rosemary extract), preservative (sodium nitrite), and standardized extracts (paprika extract, white pepper extract, chilli extract). These extracted, isolated, or synthesized additives make the overall product ultra-processed under NOVA.
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.
