No — Beef Quarter Pounders by Braemoor is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains mostly whole foods (beef, onion, water) and simple culinary ingredients (wheat flour rusk, salt, pea starch, onion powder, yeast extract, spice extract). It does not include industrial additives such as artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, thickeners, refined industrial syrups, or flavorings that would classify it as ultra-processed 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.
