No — Tofu basil is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is simple and consists mainly of whole soybeans, water, salt, dried basil, and basic firming agents (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride). These are standard processing aids for tofu and do not count as ultra-processing additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, or industrial syrups. Therefore, this product is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF) under NOVA.

No — Tofu basil by Vemondo is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is simple and consists mainly of whole soybeans, water, salt, dried basil, and basic firming agents (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride). These are standard processing aids for tofu and do not count as ultra-processing additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, or industrial syrups. Therefore, this product is not 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.
