Yes — Crispy Skin On Fries is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including modified potato starch, dextrin, dextrose, spice extracts, and the thickener xanthan gum. Dextrose in particular is a pre-identified UPF ingredient. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate industrial formulation according to the NOVA system.
