Yes — E EXCEPTIONAL 12 CLASSIC MIX & MATCH any 2 for £4. is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is an ultra-processed product because it contains the identified UPF additives stabiliser (diphosphates) and preservative (sodium metabisulphite). It also contains flavouring and dextrose, an industrially processed sugar, which further contribute to the classification. The product is a ready-to-cook processed sausage formulation rather than a simple combination of whole ingredients.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
