No — Scottish All Butter Shortbread Rounds by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are wheat flour, butter, powdered sugar, corn starch, salt, thiamine and minerals for fortification. These are basic culinary ingredients and standard fortification nutrients, with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or emulsifiers, so this is not classified as ultra-processed under the given NOVA-based rules.
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.
