Yes — vegetable fusion gyoza is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
Vegetable Fusion Gyoza is ultra-processed because it contains maltodextrin, yeast extract, and dextrin in the soy seasoning. These are industrially processed ingredients and additives associated with ultra-processed formulations. The product also contains a ready-to-eat filled dumpling formulation with concentrated seasoning oils and processed soy ingredients, further supporting its classification as ultra-processed.

Yes — vegetable fusion gyoza by itsu is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Vegetable Fusion Gyoza is ultra-processed because it contains maltodextrin, yeast extract, and dextrin in the soy seasoning. These are industrially processed ingredients and additives associated with ultra-processed formulations. The product also contains a ready-to-eat filled dumpling formulation with concentrated seasoning oils and processed soy ingredients, further supporting its classification as ultra-processed.
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.
