Yes — Breaded Pork Slices is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains industrial additives and formulations, including dextrose (an isolated refined sugar) and curing preservatives potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite. These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate industrial processing according to the NOVA classification.
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.
