No — Chef Select Chicken & Vegetable Soup by Lidl is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of basic culinary ingredients and foods (water, vegetables, chicken, salt, stock made from chicken and dehydrated potato, chicken fat, butter, cornflour, herbs, and white pepper). There are no industrial additives such as artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners beyond basic starch, refined industrial syrups, or artificial/natural flavorings. Therefore, according to the specified NOVA-based rules, this soup is not classified as 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.
