Yes — Beef Lasagne is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This beef lasagne is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, an industrially processed flavor enhancer that falls under NOVA ultra-processed ingredients. The dish is also a ready-to-eat prepared meal, which supports its classification as ultra-processed. The other listed ingredients, such as beef, vegetables, pasta, cheeses, rapeseed oil, herbs, and spices, are not the primary reason for the classification.

Yes — Beef Lasagne by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This beef lasagne is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, an industrially processed flavor enhancer that falls under NOVA ultra-processed ingredients. The dish is also a ready-to-eat prepared meal, which supports its classification as ultra-processed. The other listed ingredients, such as beef, vegetables, pasta, cheeses, rapeseed oil, herbs, and spices, are not the primary reason for the 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.
