Yes — Garlic Mushroom Escalopes is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Garlic Mushroom Escalopes are ultra-processed because they contain natural flavouring, an industrially processed flavour additive explicitly associated with UPF classification. The product is also a ready-to-eat formulated food made from multiple processed components, including mycoprotein and isolated milk and wheat proteins, although the decisive UPF ingredient is natural flavouring. Pectin and calcium salts are not treated as UPF ingredients on their own.
Other meat alternatives Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

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.
