Yes — Cooked Chicken Slices is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This cooked chicken product is ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially processed sugar, and glucose, an isolated refined sugar. It also contains sodium triphosphate, a stabilising additive used in industrial formulations. These ingredients go beyond the basic chicken, cornstarch, and salt and contribute to its UPF classification.
Other meat & poultry Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Cooked Chicken Slices by Butcher's Choice is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cooked chicken product is ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially processed sugar, and glucose, an isolated refined sugar. It also contains sodium triphosphate, a stabilising additive used in industrial formulations. These ingredients go beyond the basic chicken, cornstarch, and salt and contribute to its UPF 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.
