Yes — Lentil & Pea Veggie Cakes - Beetroot & Balsamic is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains balsamic seasoning 7.2%, a pre-identified UPF ingredient. The seasoning includes natural flavour, an industrial flavouring additive that contributes to the classification. The product also contains beetroot red, a processed colouring additive. The lentil flour, rapeseed oil, vegetables, vinegar, garlic, pepper, sugar, and salt are not individually sufficient to make the product UPF, but the industrial seasoning and additives are.

The seasoning includes natural flavour, an industrial flavouring additive that contributes to the classification. The product also contains beetroot red, a processed colouring additive.

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.
