No — Spinach by Lidl is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains a single ingredient: spinach. This is a basic, minimally processed food with no additives, refined sugars, or industrial formulations, so it is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF) under NOVA.
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.
