Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract and colour (paprika extract), which are pre-identified UPF ingredients. These industrial additives contribute to the UPF classification. The remaining ingredients, including haddock, fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, starches, yeast, onion powder, salt, and ammonium carbonate, do not independently determine the classification.
