Common questions about Caesar Salad Kit

Is Caesar Salad Kit ultra-processed?

No — Caesar Salad Kit is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This Caesar Salad Kit contains romaine lettuce, cheese, oils, eggs, vinegar, herbs, spices, flour-based croutons, and basic seasonings. These are all minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients. Although it is a ready-to-eat mix, it does not contain ultra-processed additives such as artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, thickeners, industrial syrups, or artificial flavorings, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
