This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract and natural flavourings, which are industrially formulated flavouring ingredients, as well as paprika extract used as a processed colouring ingredient. It also contains dextrose, an industrially extracted and processed sugar. These ingredients contribute to the NOVA ultra-processed classification. The remaining ingredients, such as wheat flour, dried potato, rapeseed oil, dairy ingredients, sugar, vinegar, herbs, citric acid, maize starch, and sodium hydroxide, do not independently determine the classification.
