No — All butter choc chip shortbread by Sainsburys is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only listed ingredient is wheat, which is a basic, minimally processed ingredient and not ultra-processed on its own. However, the ingredient list is almost certainly incomplete for this kind of product (it would normally contain butter, sugar, etc.), so the classification is based solely on the provided list and may not reflect the real product.
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.
