Yes — Garlic & Ginger Marinated Tofu is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This marinated tofu is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a flavor-enhancing additive identified as UPF. The tofu itself consists of soybeans, water, and calcium sulphate, while the marinade contains spices, vegetables, herbs, salt, sunflower oil, and citric acid, which do not independently make it UPF under the stated criteria.

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.
