Yes — Pork and Onion Pie is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday because it contains a highly processed oil.
This is a pork and onion pie made with pork, fortified wheat flour, caramelised red onion chutney, lard, oils, starch, gelatine, seasonings, and egg. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil identified as a UPF ingredient. The product is otherwise made largely from conventional culinary ingredients, and the fortified flour does not contribute to the UPF classification.
Yes — Pork and Onion Pie is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a pork and onion pie made with pork, fortified wheat flour, caramelised red onion chutney, lard, oils, starch, gelatine, seasonings, and egg. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil identified as a UPF ingredient.

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.
