Yes — Pork and Red Onion Sausages is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients identified as UPF contributors: stabilisers tetrasodium diphosphate and disodium diphosphate, preservative sodium metabisulphite, dextrose monohydrate, bamboo fibre, caramelised sugar syrup, and colour paprika extract. These additives and industrially processed ingredients go beyond simple culinary preparation. The sausages are also a ready-to-eat processed meat product, further supporting the UPF classification.

Yes — Pork and Red Onion Sausages by Waitrose & Partners is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients identified as UPF contributors: stabilisers tetrasodium diphosphate and disodium diphosphate, preservative sodium metabisulphite, dextrose monohydrate, bamboo fibre, caramelised sugar syrup, and colour paprika extract. These additives and industrially processed ingredients go beyond simple culinary preparation. The sausages are also a ready-to-eat processed meat product, further supporting the UPF 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.
