Yes — 6 premium pork sausages is ultra-processed.
This food is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and UPF ingredients, including dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), stabiliser (triphosphates), preservative (sodium sulphite), antioxidant (ascorbic acid used as an additive), spice extracts, and sage extract. These are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed products rather than minimally processed or simply processed foods.
Other meat & poultry Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — 6 premium pork sausages by Black Farmer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This food is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and UPF ingredients, including dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), stabiliser (triphosphates), preservative (sodium sulphite), antioxidant (ascorbic acid used as an additive), spice extracts, and sage extract.

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.
