Yes — 16 Seafood Sticks is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday eating.

This product is ultra-processed because it is a ready-to-eat surimi formulation containing flavouring and industrially formulated ingredients. The flavouring is an additive used to create or enhance taste, which qualifies the product as ultra-processed under NOVA. The product is also a manufactured seafood analogue made from minced whitefish combined with starches, oils, sugars, colours, and other formulation ingredients rather than being a minimally processed seafood preparation.
