Yes — Pork Cocktail Sausages is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday because it contains industrial additives and refined dextrose.
This appears to be sausages made primarily from pork, wheat flour, onion, spices, salt, and sugar. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially refined sugar identified as a UPF ingredient, and diphosphates, an industrial emulsifying/processing additive. The beef collagen casings also indicate a manufactured formulation. Fortified wheat flour, sugar, potato starch, and basic seasonings do not independently make the product UPF.
Other meat & poultry Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Pork Cocktail Sausages by Waitrose is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be sausages made primarily from pork, wheat flour, onion, spices, salt, and sugar. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially refined sugar identified as a UPF ingredient, and diphosphates, an industrial emulsifying/processing additive. The beef collagen casings also indicate a manufactured formulation. Fortified wheat flour, sugar, potato starch, and basic seasonings do not independently make the product UPF.
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.
