Yes — Sausage and ham tortelloni is ultra-processed.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and processed ingredients. Specifically, it includes preservative (sodium nitrite) and antioxidant (sodium ascorbate), which are characteristic of ultra-processed meats, as well as dextrose, an isolated refined sugar. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and place the product in the ultra-processed category under the NOVA classification.

Yes — Sausage and ham tortelloni by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and processed ingredients. Specifically, it includes preservative (sodium nitrite) and antioxidant (sodium ascorbate), which are characteristic of ultra-processed meats, as well as dextrose, an isolated refined sugar. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and place the product in the ultra-processed category under the NOVA classification.
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.
