The product is ultra-processed because it contains maltodextrin and yeast extract, which are industrially processed ingredients used as flavor enhancers or texture agents. These additives classify the food as UPF under the NOVA system.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
