No — Smashed avocado with chilli by Lidl is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All listed ingredients (avocado, lime juice, red chilli, salt, chilli flakes) are basic culinary ingredients with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids, so this is not ultra-processed according to 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.
