No — Tofu Basilico by Taifun is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists of tofu (soybeans, water, coagulation agents magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate), extra virgin olive oil, basil, vegetable bouillon made from sea salt, yeast extract, sunflower oil, and vegetables/spices, plus wild garlic and parsley. These are basic culinary ingredients and simple coagulants; there are no industrial sweeteners, flavours, emulsifiers, or highly processed isolates like maltodextrin or glucose syrup. Therefore, under the provided NOVA-style rules, this product is not considered ultra-processed.
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.
