No — King Prawns by M&S is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product consists of king prawns with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and seasonings such as sugar, rice wine vinegar, vegetables, spices, cornflour, and rapeseed oil. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrial syrups. Therefore, it is not classified as ultra-processed according to the NOVA criteria.
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.
