Yes — Seasoned Beef is ultra-processed.

A processed meat product best kept occasional, not an everyday choice.

This is a seasoned beef product, likely a cured or preserved meat. Potassium sorbate and sodium nitrite are industrial preservatives; sodium nitrite is particularly characteristic of processed meat formulations. These additives lead to a UPF classification under the specified criteria, while the beef, vinegar, salt, spices, and rapeseed oil are not the deciding factors.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
