Yes — Sweet Chilli Lime Salmon is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This salmon product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed additives and flavoring ingredients: yeast extract powder, which is a flavor enhancer; colour (paprika extract), an extracted colouring additive; lemon extract, an industrial extract used for flavor; and flavourings, which are added flavoring substances. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The other ingredients, including salmon, sugar, rapeseed oil, spices, herbs, lime oil, and sodium bicarbonate, do not independently determine the classification.
Other fish & seafood Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Sweet Chilli Lime Salmon by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This salmon product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed additives and flavoring ingredients: yeast extract powder, which is a flavor enhancer; colour (paprika extract), an extracted colouring additive; lemon extract, an industrial extract used for flavor; and flavourings, which are added flavoring substances. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The other ingredients, including salmon, sugar, rapeseed oil, spices, herbs, lime oil, and sodium bicarbonate, do not independently determine the 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.
