No — Sweet Leaf Salad by Sainsbury’s is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of raw vegetables (iceberg lettuce, carrot, romaine lettuce, white cabbage) with no additives, refined industrial ingredients, flavorings, or processing agents. These are minimally processed foods and do 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.
