No — All butter scottish shortbread assortment by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are basic culinary items (wheat flour with vitamin/mineral fortification, butter, caster sugar, cornflour, rice flour, salt, sodium bicarbonate). There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, colorings, flavorings, or other cosmetic additives, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
