Common questions about fresh chilli jam

Is fresh chilli jam ultra-processed?

No — fresh chilli jam is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and contains only basic culinary ingredients (raw cane sugar, vegetables, vinegar, lemon juice, sea salt) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavorings, so it is not classified as ultra-processed according to NOVA.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?
