Yes — Burger Steak is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: hydrolysed soya protein and hydrolysed maize protein are industrial protein isolates used for flavour enhancement; dextrose is an industrially refined sugar; smoke flavouring and natural flavourings are added flavouring substances; stabilisers (E46) and caramel colour (E150c) are industrial additives. The ready-to-eat formed meat product, made with connective tissues and multiple functional additives, further indicates an industrial formulation.

Yes — Burger Steak by Westlers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: hydrolysed soya protein and hydrolysed maize protein are industrial protein isolates used for flavour enhancement; dextrose is an industrially refined sugar; smoke flavouring and natural flavourings are added flavouring substances; stabilisers (E46) and caramel colour (E150c) are industrial additives. The ready-to-eat formed meat product, made with connective tissues and multiple functional additives, further indicates an industrial formulation.
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.
