Yes — soupe miso is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list includes yeast extract, which is a pre-identified ultra-processed (UPF) ingredient according to NOVA. Therefore, the product must be classified as ultra-processed. Other ingredients like sugar are basic culinary ingredients and do not change the classification, which is already determined by the presence of yeast extract.

Yes — soupe miso by Enjuku is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list includes yeast extract, which is a pre-identified ultra-processed (UPF) ingredient according to NOVA. Therefore, the product must be classified as ultra-processed. Other ingredients like sugar are basic culinary ingredients and do not change the classification, which is already determined by the presence of yeast extract.
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.
