No — Fish Pie is not ultra-processed.

Great choice! Made mainly with recognizable, minimally processed ingredients.

This fish pie is not ultra-processed. It consists mainly of recognizable whole or minimally processed foods, including potatoes, fish, dairy, spinach, egg, herbs, and basic flour. The fortified wheat flour and common ingredients such as salt, yeast, caramelised sugar, paprika extract, turmeric extract, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, and thiamin do not independently make it ultra-processed. The fish stock includes rapeseed oil and lemon juice concentrate, but these do not constitute the industrial formulations or additives that would qualify the product as UPF under the stated criteria.
