Yes — Chicken Bacon Cheese Pastry is ultra-processed.
This savoury pastry is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil in the puff pastry, which is a highly refined industrial oil, and cured bacon with nitrite preservatives (potassium nitrite, sodium nitrite) and the antioxidant sodium ascorbate. These industrial ingredients and curing agents place the product in the ultra-processed NOVA category.

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.
