Yes — Coleslaw is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This coleslaw is ultra-processed because it contains stabilisers (guar gum and xanthan gum), plus the separately listed stabiliser (guar gum), which are industrial thickening additives. It also contains potassium sorbate, an industrial preservative. These additives contribute to the UPF classification. The cabbage, carrot, onion, yogurt, rapeseed oil, vinegar, salt, egg, and maize starch are not the determining factors.

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.
