No — Vegetable Pasta is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product appears to be a simple dried pasta made from durum wheat semolina with small amounts of tomato and spinach powder. All listed ingredients are basic/minimally processed foods with no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, or other markers of ultra-processing according to NOVA. Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF).
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.
