No — Katsu curry chicken is not ultra-processed.
Based on the visible ingredients (rice, chicken breast, vegetables, spices, basic starches, sugar, rapeseed oil, tomato purée, concentrated lemon juice), this appears to be a minimally processed ready meal without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrial syrups. Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed under the specified NOVA-style rules.

No — Katsu curry chicken by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Based on the visible ingredients (rice, chicken breast, vegetables, spices, basic starches, sugar, rapeseed oil, tomato purée, concentrated lemon juice), this appears to be a minimally processed ready meal without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrial syrups. Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed under the specified NOVA-style rules.
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.
