Yes — Garlic-roasted Broccoli & Vintage Cheddar Quiche is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains sustainable palm oil (a highly refined oil) and golden linseeds are accompanied by 'golden' which often indicates processing, along with other processed components like dried skimmed milk and garlic purée. Palm oil alone is sufficient to classify it as UPF per guidelines.

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.
