Yes — Wafer-Thin Honey-Cured Ham is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This ham is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and preservatives: potassium lactate, sodium acetates, sodium nitrite, triphosphates, diphosphates, and sodium ascorbate. These function as preservatives, stabilisers, and antioxidants in an industrially formulated processed meat product. Honey, salt, sucrose, vinegar, and the basic ingredients do not independently determine the classification, but the additives do.
Other meat & poultry Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Wafer-Thin Honey-Cured Ham by Morrisons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This ham is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and preservatives: potassium lactate, sodium acetates, sodium nitrite, triphosphates, diphosphates, and sodium ascorbate. These function as preservatives, stabilisers, and antioxidants in an industrially formulated processed meat product. Honey, salt, sucrose, vinegar, and the basic ingredients do not independently determine the classification, but the additives do.
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.
