Yes — Highland Game Venison Grill Steak is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday eating.

This venison and pork grill steak is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: dextrose, an industrially refined sugar; sodium metabisulphite, a preservative; sodium triphosphate, a stabiliser; and flavourings, which are extracted or formulated flavour additives. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing. Ascorbic acid is a basic antioxidant and is not the reason for the classification.
