Yes — Chunky Fish Fingers is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Chunky Fish Fingers are ultra-processed because they contain dextrose, an industrially processed sugar classified as a UPF ingredient. The product is also a ready-to-eat processed food in a formed, breaded format. The wheat flour, potato and wheat starch, salt, yeast, egg white powder, sugar, paprika, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin, and rapeseed oil do not independently determine the UPF classification here.

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.
