Yes — Chicken & sweet pepper poke by Yo! is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains multiple ultra-processed ingredients including fructose-glucose syrup, modified maize starch, and spirit vinegar used as an additive; these are industrially processed components according to NOVA.
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.
