Common questions about Apple & Pear Chutney

Is Apple & Pear Chutney ultra-processed?

No — Apple & Pear Chutney by Lidl is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are mainly whole or minimally processed foods (fruit, sugar, treacle, vinegar, spices, dried onions, salt, sultanas, ginger puree). No industrial additives, refined syrups (like glucose-fructose syrup, maltodextrin), artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, or artificial/natural flavourings are listed, so it does not meet the NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

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?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
