Yes — Chicken Italia 10 Chipolatas is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrial flavorings and additives.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because its seasoning contains several industrial additives and formulations: yeast extract (a flavor enhancer), natural flavoring, spice extracts, and a preservative (sodium sulphite). The seasoning also includes antioxidant (ascorbic acid) and citric acid; although these can be basic additives in some contexts, the identified flavoring and preservative components contribute to the ultra-processed classification. Beef collagen casings are also an industrially processed component. The chicken, pea flour, mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, garlic, and other basic ingredients do not independently make the product ultra-processed.

Yes — Chicken Italia 10 Chipolatas by HECK is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is classified as ultra-processed because its seasoning contains several industrial additives and formulations: yeast extract (a flavor enhancer), natural flavoring, spice extracts, and a preservative (sodium sulphite). The seasoning also includes antioxidant (ascorbic acid) and citric acid; although these can be basic additives in some contexts, the identified flavoring and preservative components contribute to the ultra-processed classification. Beef collagen casings are also an industrially processed component. The chicken, pea flour, mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, garlic, and other basic ingredients do not independently make the product 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.
