No — Pasta, Spinach & Pine Kernels by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a minimally processed prepared salad made from pasta, spinach, vegetable oils, cheeses, lemon juice, pine kernels, salt, garlic, vinegar, and pepper. The listed ingredients do not include artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, or natural/artificial flavorings.

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.
