Yes — Pea Protein Noodle Stir-Fry is ultra-processed.
A convenient meal, but not ideal for everyday eating.
This is a prepared noodle-and-vegetable meal. It is classified as ultra-processed because the pea protein noodles contain xanthan gum, an extracted industrial thickener used to modify texture. The product also contains pea protein isolate and tapioca starch in the formulated noodles, plus prepared purees and onion powder in the sauce. The xanthan gum is the decisive UPF additive under the specified criteria.

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.
