Yes — Quorn pieces is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, an industrial flavouring additive identified as UPF. Calcium chloride and calcium acetate are firming agents, but the natural flavouring alone is sufficient for the UPF classification. Mycoprotein and egg white are otherwise recognizable food ingredients.

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