Common questions about Chicken Lentil Rice Bowl

Is Chicken Lentil Rice Bowl ultra-processed?

No — Chicken Lentil Rice Bowl is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are primarily whole foods (chicken breast, brown rice, vegetables, lentils, herbs, spices, whole milk). Rapeseed oil is a basic culinary oil, and pectin is a simple gelling agent that alone does not make the product ultra-processed under the given rules. There are no artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, industrial syrups, or emulsifiers/mono- and diglycerides listed, so this would not be classified as ultra-processed according to the specified NOVA-based criteria.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
