No — Japanese Style Chicken Curry with rice is not ultra-processed.
The product consists of basic ingredients: chicken, salt, water, onion purée, long grain rice, rapeseed oil, yeast extract, and common culinary spices. These are minimally processed or simple culinary ingredients without industrial additives (no emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, or industrial syrups). Yeast extract and rapeseed oil are allowed culinary ingredients within NOVA and do not on their own make the food ultra-processed.

No — Japanese Style Chicken Curry with rice by MYPROTEIN is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product consists of basic ingredients: chicken, salt, water, onion purée, long grain rice, rapeseed oil, yeast extract, and common culinary spices. These are minimally processed or simple culinary ingredients without industrial additives (no emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, or industrial syrups). Yeast extract and rapeseed oil are allowed culinary ingredients within NOVA and do not on their own make the food 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.
