Yes — Cream of chicken and mushrooms Soup is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as UPF because it contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives, including yeast extract (pre-identified UPF ingredient), glucose syrup (industrially processed sugar), modified maize starch (chemically modified starch), flavouring, and roasted barley malt extract (industrial flavor enhancer). These indicate industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing.

Yes — Cream of chicken and mushrooms Soup by By sainsbury's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as UPF because it contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives, including yeast extract (pre-identified UPF ingredient), glucose syrup (industrially processed sugar), modified maize starch (chemically modified starch), flavouring, and roasted barley malt extract (industrial flavor enhancer). These indicate industrial formulation beyond basic culinary 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.
