No — pasta by Sainsbury's is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is wholewheat durum wheat semolina, which is a basic minimally processed cereal ingredient without industrial additives, refined syrups, flavourings, or other markers of ultra-processing.
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.
