Not a great choice for everyday.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially processed refined sugar, and flavouring, an extracted additive used to provide or enhance taste. It also contains diphosphates as a stabiliser and sodium metabisulphite as a preservative; these are industrial additives used in the formulation. Calcium alginate vegetable casings are also an industrially manufactured casing material. The chicken, cheese, flours, vegetables, herbs, spices, salt, water, potato starch, and ascorbic acid do not independently make the product ultra-processed.
