Yes — Korean BBQ Chicken Wrap is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to several industrial ingredients.
This chicken wrap is classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, barley malt extract, and modified starch. Palm oil is a highly processed and refined oil; barley malt extract is an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer; and modified starch is an extracted and industrially modified additive. These ingredients are industrial formulations or additives associated with ultra-processed foods. Other ingredients, such as glycerol, sugar, rapeseed oil, vinegar, spices, vegetables, and raising agents, do not independently determine the classification.

Yes — Korean BBQ Chicken Wrap by The Gym Kitchen is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This chicken wrap is classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, barley malt extract, and modified starch. Palm oil is a highly processed and refined oil; barley malt extract is an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer; and modified starch is an extracted and industrially modified additive. These ingredients are industrial formulations or additives associated with ultra-processed foods. Other ingredients, such as glycerol, sugar, rapeseed oil, vinegar, spices, vegetables, and raising agents, do not independently determine 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.
