No — Cheese Pasta Bake is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with mostly simple, recognizable ingredients.
This appears to be a cheese pasta bake made primarily from cooked pasta, milk, cheddar cheese, peppers, breadcrumbs, oils, herbs, spices, and vinegar. None of the listed ingredients are industrial formulations or additives that would trigger a UPF classification under the specified criteria. Fortified wheat flour and added vitamins and minerals are nutritional fortification, while olive oil, rapeseed oil, and the other basic culinary ingredients are not considered 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.
