No — Tortilla chips is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, traditionally processed ingredients.
Fettuccine Alfredo is not ultra-processed because it consists of pasta made from durum wheat semolina, water, and pasteurized eggs; a simple cream sauce; hard cheese; butter; wheat flour; and salt. These are basic culinary ingredients and traditionally processed dairy products, with no artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, industrial syrups, refined specialty oils, or other NOVA ultra-processing markers. Lysozyme is an enzyme from egg white used in cheese-making and does not change the overall classification here.

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.
