Yes — Breaded Cod is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This appears to be breaded cod made primarily from cod and flour-based coating. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a flavor-enhancing industrial additive. Reprocessed corn starch is also an industrially modified starch, contributing to the processed formulation. The fish, flours, spices, yeast, and fortified flour ingredients are not independently UPF under the stated criteria.
