The product only contains basic culinary ingredients (rice, lentils, vegetables, spices, butter, oil, salt, water) with no industrial formulations or additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, industrial syrups, or refined/hydrogenated oils. Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed 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.
