No — Basmati Rice is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Basmati rice, water, sunflower oil, and salt are basic culinary ingredients. The product contains no industrial formulations or additives that would make it ultra-processed under 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.
