No — Kardamom by sainsbury‘s is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is cardamom pods, a single whole spice with no additives or industrially processed ingredients. This is a minimally processed food, not an ultra-processed product under NOVA.
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.
