No — Vegetable Oil by Asda is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient listed is "vegetable oil," which is a basic culinary ingredient and explicitly considered NOT ultra-processed under the provided guidelines, as long as no additional additives or industrial formulations are present.
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.
