No — Chicken Jalfrezi by Sainsbury’s is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are basic foods and culinary ingredients (rice, chicken, yogurt, spices, vegetables, rapeseed oil, salt, spirit vinegar, cornflour, tomato paste).

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.
