Yes — Pizzeria stromboli spicy salami is ultra-processed.
A tasty meal, but processed meats make it unsuitable for everyday eating.
Stromboli is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF ingredients: ventricina smoked salami, calabrese spicy salami, and crumbled pepperoni. These processed meats contain industrial additives and formulations, including sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate, flavourings or smoke flavour, and dextrose. Dextrose is an industrially refined sugar, while flavourings and curing preservatives are additives associated with ultra-processing. The wheat flour, tomato passata, mozzarella, oils, herbs, spices, yeast, and vegetables do not independently require a UPF classification.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
