No — Beetroot, rocket and feta by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are mainly whole or minimally processed foods (beetroot, beans, dairy, rocket, pumpkin seeds, basic vegetable oils, sugar, vinegar, herbs, lemon juice, salt). There are no industrial additives like emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavor enhancers, or industrial sweeteners/syrups. Cornflour and basic vegetable oils are culinary ingredients, not UPF markers. Therefore this product is not classified as ultra-processed under the given NOVA-style rules.
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.
