Yes — No Duck Hoisin is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives. The contributing ingredients include palm fat and palm stearin, which are refined palm-derived fats; acidity regulators malic acid and acetic acid, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients; flavouring; yeast extract, a flavour enhancer; and malted barley extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer. The seasoned wheat gluten and soy protein pieces, stock powder, and ready-to-eat meat-alternative filling also indicate industrial formulation. Fortified wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil, raising agents, spices, and traditional fermented sauces do not independently determine the classification.

Yes — No Duck Hoisin by plant MADE is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives. The contributing ingredients include palm fat and palm stearin, which are refined palm-derived fats; acidity regulators malic acid and acetic acid, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients; flavouring; yeast extract, a flavour enhancer; and malted barley extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer. The seasoned wheat gluten and soy protein pieces, stock powder, and ready-to-eat meat-alternative filling also indicate industrial formulation.

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.
