Yes — Chicken, Spinach and Tomato Pie is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is a chicken, spinach and tomato pie-style prepared meal. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, maltodextrin, chicken extract, and flavouring, which are industrially processed ingredients or additives. Modified starch and yeast extract also contribute to industrial formulation; the modified starch functions as a processed thickener, while yeast extract is a concentrated flavour-enhancing ingredient. The wheat flour is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which does not itself make the product ultra-processed, and the butter, milk, vegetables, herbs, spices, and basic oils are not the primary reasons for the 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.
