No — Lentil Chips is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are primarily basic foods and culinary ingredients: lentil flour, sunflower oil, sugar, salt, dried lentil chili powder, dried red bell pepper, and a natural color (paprika extract). None of these represent industrial formulations or ultra-processed additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or refined industrial syrups. Therefore, this would not be classified as ultra-processed (UPF) under NOVA.
No — Lentil Chips is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food).

None of these represent industrial formulations or ultra-processed additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or refined industrial syrups. Therefore, this would not be 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.
