No — Chunky Keralan Chicken Soup by M&S Eat Well is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All ingredients are basic foods or simple culinary ingredients (vegetables, chicken, stock, coconut cream, spices, honey, sugar, lemon juice, rapeseed oil, cornflour). There are no industrially processed sweeteners like glucose syrup, no emulsifiers, thickeners, flavor enhancers, or artificial/natural flavourings beyond whole herbs and spices. Therefore it is not ultra-processed under the provided NOVA-based rules.
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.
