Yes — Young's Chip Shop Cod 4-Pack is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several ingredients identified as industrial UPF components: palm oil, raising agents containing diphosphates, dextrose, and added colours including curcumin. It also contains flavouring, an industrially formulated flavour additive. These ingredients contribute to its classification as ultra-processed, despite the presence of cod, flour, oils, and spices.

Yes — Young's Chip Shop Cod 4-Pack by Young's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several ingredients identified as industrial UPF components: palm oil, raising agents containing diphosphates, dextrose, and added colours including curcumin. It also contains flavouring, an industrially formulated flavour additive. These ingredients contribute to its classification as ultra-processed, despite the presence of cod, flour, oils, and spices.
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.
