Is Hoisin Duck Sushi ultra-processed?

No — Hoisin Duck Sushi by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic foods and culinary ingredients only. There are no industrially processed sweeteners (like glucose syrup, HFCS, maltodextrin), no emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, or gelling agents, and no artificial or “natural” flavourings.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
