Not a great choice for everyday eating.

This is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and preservatives, including dextrose, stabilisers (potassium triphosphate, sodium triphosphate, and tetrapotassium diphosphate), antioxidant (sodium ascorbate), and preservative (sodium nitrite). These additives and the ready-to-eat processed meat formulation lead to its UPF classification.
