No — Roasted topside of beef slices by Aldi,Specially Selected is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product contains only basic culinary ingredients (beef, salt, pepper) with no industrial additives, refined industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, thickeners, or flavorings, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for 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.
