No — Corn on The Cob by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient listed is sweet corn, which is a basic single-ingredient whole food with no additives, refined oils, or industrial formulations. Therefore, it is not ultra-processed according to the NOVA classification.
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.
