Yes — Chicken stock pot by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains glucose syrup (an industrially processed sugar) and stabiliser E417 (xanthan gum), as well as unspecified flavourings; these are ultra-processed additives according to NOVA, so the product is classified as UPF.
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.
