The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including palm oil, modified maize starch, dextrose, and emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids). Palm oil is a highly refined oil, modified maize starch is an industrially altered starch used as a thickener/stabilizer, dextrose is an industrially refined sugar, and E471 is an emulsifier. The presence of these UPF ingredients makes the overall product ultra-processed according to the NOVA classification.

Yes — Broccoli Cheese Tomato Quiche by Marks & Spencers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including palm oil, modified maize starch, dextrose, and emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids). Palm oil is a highly refined oil, modified maize starch is an industrially altered starch used as a thickener/stabilizer, dextrose is an industrially refined sugar, and E471 is an emulsifier. The presence of these UPF ingredients makes the overall product ultra-processed according to the NOVA classification.
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.
