No — Egg Noodles is not ultra-processed.
Ingredient list contains basic culinary ingredients (water, wheat flour with vitamin/mineral fortification, egg, rapeseed oil, salt) plus simple additives used for texture and stability (potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate as firming agents; citric acid as acidity regulator; beta-carotene as a color). These are common processing aids and not the kind of industrial flavorings, sweeteners, or ultra-processed fractions that define NOVA ultra-processed foods.

No — Egg Noodles by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredient list contains basic culinary ingredients (water, wheat flour with vitamin/mineral fortification, egg, rapeseed oil, salt) plus simple additives used for texture and stability (potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate as firming agents; citric acid as acidity regulator; beta-carotene as a color). These are common processing aids and not the kind of industrial flavorings, sweeteners, or ultra-processed fractions that define NOVA 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.
