Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Egg Noodles Singapore Curry is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several UPF ingredients and additives, including maltodextrin (an industrially processed sugar), flavourings (industrial flavor additives), and palm oil (a highly refined oil).
