Yes — BBQ Lemon Garlic and Herb Chicken Breast Steaks is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This chicken product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed flavouring ingredients: guar gum, a stabiliser; yeast extract, a flavour enhancer; paprika extract, an extracted flavour or colour ingredient; and flavouring, a specified flavouring additive. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation beyond simple marinated chicken. The product also contains refined white sugar and cornflour, but these alone would not determine the classification.
