Yes — Breaded Cod is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Breaded cod is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, yeast extract, and black pepper extract. These are industrially extracted or formulated ingredients associated with ultra-processed foods. The product is also a ready-to-eat processed fish preparation rather than simply cod with a basic coating.
Other fish & seafood Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Breaded cod is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, yeast extract, and black pepper extract.

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.
