No — Butter Bean and Tomato Stew is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, minimally processed ingredients.
This appears to be a simple bean-and-tomato dish made primarily from cooked butter beans, tomatoes, onion, water, salt, spices, soya oil, sugar, and citric acid. None of these ingredients require classification as ultra-processed under the stated criteria. Citric acid is a basic acidity regulator, soya oil is a basic vegetable oil, and sugar is a basic single-ingredient food. The product is therefore not ultra-processed.

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.
