Yes — CHICKEN & CHORIZO CASSEROLE is ultra-processed.
The casserole contains multiple ultra-processed ingredients and additives, including dextrose, antioxidant (sodium ascorbate), preservative (sodium nitrite), dried glucose syrup, stabiliser (guar gum), paprika extract, and flavourings. These are industrial formulations and additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods under NOVA, so the product is classified as UPF.

Yes — CHICKEN & CHORIZO CASSEROLE by ASDA is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The casserole contains multiple ultra-processed ingredients and additives, including dextrose, antioxidant (sodium ascorbate), preservative (sodium nitrite), dried glucose syrup, stabiliser (guar gum), paprika extract, and flavourings. These are industrial formulations and additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods under NOVA, so the product is classified as UPF.
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.
