Yes — Chicken Satay Rice Bowl is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.

Glucose syrup is an industrially refined sugar, while yeast extract and barley malt extract are industrially processed flavor-enhancing ingredients. It also contains palm oil in the crunchy peanut butter; palm fruit oil is highly refined and classified as UPF under the stated criteria. The other ingredients, such as rice, chicken, vegetables, spices, vinegar, and fortified wheat flour, do not independently make the product UPF.
