Yes — Egg Fried Rice is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This egg fried rice is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a pre-identified ultra-processed ingredient and flavor enhancer. The product also includes lemon juice concentrate, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried garlic, but yeast extract is the decisive UPF ingredient. The remaining ingredients are mostly recognizable foods and basic culinary ingredients.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Egg Fried Rice by Ben's Original is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This egg fried rice is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a pre-identified ultra-processed ingredient and flavor enhancer. The product also includes lemon juice concentrate, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried garlic, but yeast extract is the decisive UPF ingredient. The remaining ingredients are mostly recognizable foods and basic culinary ingredients.
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.
