The product is classified as UPF because it contains industrial ingredients/additives such as dextrose (an industrially refined sugar) and whey powder (an industrial milk fraction), which fall under NOVA ultra-processed formulations. It also includes an acidity regulator (sodium phosphates), which is an additive characteristic of ultra-processed foods.

Yes — Rice pudding by Lidl is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as UPF because it contains industrial ingredients/additives such as dextrose (an industrially refined sugar) and whey powder (an industrial milk fraction), which fall under NOVA ultra-processed formulations. It also includes an acidity regulator (sodium phosphates), which is an additive characteristic of ultra-processed foods.
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.
