No — Hot Chilli Powder by Sainsbury's is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and consists only of basic culinary ingredients and dried herbs/spices (chilli powder, cumin, garlic, oregano). There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra-processing under NOVA, so this product is not classified as ultra-processed.
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.
