No — Spaghetti bolognese by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains basic ingredients (pasta from durum wheat, beef, vegetables, tomato products, cornflour, rapeseed oil, garlic purée, stock, herbs, salt, pepper) with no industrial additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or industrial syrups, so it is not 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.
