No — Onion Miso Pesto is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are mainly whole or traditionally processed foods (rapeseed oil, caramelised onions, pine kernels, spinach, miso, vegetables, herbs, salt). The only additive present is citric acid, which is a basic food acidulant and allowed as non-UPF under the given rules. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, thickeners, flavourings, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed fats like palm fruit oil. Therefore this is not classified as ultra-processed according to the provided NOVA-based criteria.

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.
