Yes — Black Pepper Saucisson is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is a cured pork sausage. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially extracted refined sugar identified as a UPF ingredient. The product also contains preservatives such as potassium nitrate, potassium sorbate (E202), and natamycin (E235), which support industrial preservation and processing. The curing, coating, drying, and maturation make it a ready-to-eat processed meat product.

It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially extracted refined sugar identified as a UPF ingredient.

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.
