Yes — Tesco Finest 12 Pork Chipolatas is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: acidity regulator (calcium lactate), stabilisers (tetrasodium diphosphate and disodium diphosphate), preservative (sodium metabisulphite), dextrose, bamboo fibre, caramelised sugar syrup, and colour (paprika extract). These additives and industrially processed ingredients contribute to its UPF classification. The sausages are also a ready-to-eat processed meat product.
Other meat & poultry Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Tesco Finest 12 Pork Chipolatas by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: acidity regulator (calcium lactate), stabilisers (tetrasodium diphosphate and disodium diphosphate), preservative (sodium metabisulphite), dextrose, bamboo fibre, caramelised sugar syrup, and colour (paprika extract). These additives and industrially processed ingredients contribute to its UPF classification. The sausages are also a ready-to-eat processed meat product.
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.
