No — Extra special Roast chicken stock is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The ingredients are chicken stock, yeast extract, chicken fat, salt, chicken, and sugar. Yeast extract is a processed ingredient but not necessarily an ultra-processed additive in the NOVA sense, and the rest are basic culinary ingredients. There are no industrial additives like artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, gelling agents, industrial syrups, or flavorings listed, so this would not be classified as an ultra-processed food under the provided criteria.

Yeast extract is a processed ingredient but not necessarily an ultra-processed additive in the NOVA sense, and the rest are basic culinary ingredients.

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.
