No — 5% Fat Beef Mince by Sainsbury's is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product appears to contain only minced beef, which is a basic single-ingredient food with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids characteristic of ultra-processed foods in the NOVA system.
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.
