All listed ingredients are basic foods or simple culinary ingredients (meat, vegetables, dairy, alcohol, spices, rice, basic starch, oil, sugar, salt, acids).

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.
