Yes — Piadina by M&S Food is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and processing aids such as emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), raising agent E450, and antioxidant E392. These additives, along with refined/industrial ingredients like wheat starch and dried fermented wheat flour, classify it as an ultra-processed food 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.
