No — Pasta, spinach & pine nut by Sainsbury's is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains pasta, vegetables, cheese, herbs, nuts, oils, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and garlic puree, with no industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, thickeners, or other ultra-processed additives. These are all minimally processed culinary ingredients, so it is not classified as ultra-processed according to 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.
