Yes — Chicken and Ham Pie is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, despite its traditional ingredients.
This appears to be a chicken and ham pie. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, stabilisers (guar gum and xanthan gum), dextrose, and raising agents (diphosphates), all of which are industrially processed ingredients or additives under the specified criteria. Sodium nitrite is also used as a preservative in the cured ham. The other ingredients are largely conventional culinary foods and flours, but the identified UPF ingredients are sufficient for classification.

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.
