Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Admiral's Pie is ultra-processed.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, dextrose, and flavourings, which are industrially processed ingredients or additives associated with ultra-processed formulations. These ingredients are sufficient to classify the product as UPF. The colours capsanthin, curcumin, and annatto norbixin do not change that conclusion.
