No — Vegetable Samosas by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic culinary ingredients (wheat flour, vegetables, spices, traditional sugar) and standard fortification nutrients (calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin). There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, industrial syrups, flavor enhancers, or processed extracts) that would classify this as ultra-processed under NOVA.
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.
