No — Creamy Root Vegetable Side is not ultra-processed.
This dish is made from basic culinary ingredients: fresh carrots and swede, butter, single cream, black pepper, and nutmeg. These are minimally processed foods without industrial additives, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or modified starches. It therefore does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food under NOVA and would be classified as a non-UPF homemade-style preparation.
No — Creamy Root Vegetable Side is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This dish is made from basic culinary ingredients: fresh carrots and swede, butter, single cream, black pepper, and nutmeg.

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.
