No — Organic Buckwheat Ramen Noodles by King Soba is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product only contains organic buckwheat flour and water, which are basic, minimally processed ingredients with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids typical of 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.
