Yes — British Lamb Mince is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial additives and formulations, including yeast extract and flavourings (both pre-identified UPF ingredients), palm fat (a highly processed refined oil), maltodextrin and caramel syrup (industrially processed sugars), potassium chloride (used as a salt replacer), and gelling agents xanthan gum and locust bean gum (additive thickeners/stabilizers). The presence of these ingredients makes the overall product UPF under the NOVA system.
