Yes — Quorn Protein Bites Roasted is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted flavouring additive classified as ultra-processed under NOVA. It also contains mycoprotein and textured wheat protein, which are industrially processed protein ingredients characteristic of a formulated meat substitute. The seasoning includes yeast extract, another concentrated flavour-enhancing ingredient. These ingredients make the product an industrial formulation rather than a minimally processed food.
Other meat alternatives Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Quorn Protein Bites Roasted by Quorn is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted flavouring additive classified as ultra-processed under NOVA. It also contains mycoprotein and textured wheat protein, which are industrially processed protein ingredients characteristic of a formulated meat substitute. The seasoning includes yeast extract, another concentrated flavour-enhancing ingredient. These ingredients make the product an industrial formulation rather than a minimally processed food.
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.
