Yes — Instant Noodle Soup is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This is an instant noodle soup product. It is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives, including palm oil, the artificial sweetener E420 (sorbitol), emulsifier E322 (lecithin), maltodextrin, flavor enhancers E631 and E627, caramel color E150c, and glucose-based textured vegetable proteins. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial processing and flavor formulation. Other additives such as acidity regulators, antioxidants, and colors reinforce its processed formulation.
