Yes — Biltong is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
Biltong is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and refined ingredients: dextrose and maltodextrin are industrially processed sugars; yeast extract is a flavor enhancer; natural flavorings are extracted flavor additives; caramelized sugar and paprika extract are processed flavoring or coloring ingredients; and potassium sorbate is a preservative. These ingredients go beyond the simple processing used to preserve and season dried beef.

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.
