No — 8 Meringue Nests is not ultra-processed.
This meringue product is made only from sugar and pasteurised egg white. Sugar is a basic single-ingredient culinary sweetener, and pasteurised egg white is simply egg that has been heat-treated for safety, without added industrial formulations or cosmetic additives. The recipe reflects a traditional preparation using minimally processed ingredients, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under 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.
