Chicken and Pork Pie

Barcode 5063210044283

Yes — Chicken and Pork Pie is ultra-processed.

A meaty pie with industrial flavoring additives; not ideal for everyday eating.

This appears to be a chicken and pork pie made primarily from meat, apple, spices, butter, wheat flour, fruit and vegetable purées, gelatine, and salt. However, it is classified as ultra-processed because it contains seasoning and yeast extract, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients. These industrial flavoring ingredients indicate a formulation beyond simple culinary processing.
