No — Nutrient Dense beetroot and feta by M&S is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are whole foods and basic culinary ingredients (vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy, basic vegetable oils, salt, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, and garlic purée). No industrial additives, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or industrially processed syrups are listed, 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.
