No — Macaroni by M&S food is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Macaroni made from durum wheat semolina and water is not ultra-processed. It consists of basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, artificial flavorings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined syrups, or other ultra-processing markers.
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.
