No — GREEN PESTO by Marks And Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This pesto contains culinary ingredients like basil, extra virgin olive oil, pecorino cheese, rapeseed oil, pine kernels, lemon juice, garlic purée, water, and salt, with no ultra-processed additives such as emulsifiers, industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrial sugar syrups. It therefore does not meet NOVA criteria for an ultra-processed food.
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.
