Yes — Sriracha Kimchi by Flying Goose Brand is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains several ultra-processed additives/ingredients according to NOVA, including: flavour enhancer E621 (monosodium glutamate), stabiliser E415 (xanthan gum), preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), generic “flavours/aroma”, yeast extract (a flavour enhancer), and distilled vinegar (an industrially produced acetic acid solution). These industrial additives and flavour agents classify the product as an ultra-processed food (UPF).
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.
