Yes — Cream of Tomato Soup is ultra-processed.
This cream of tomato soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations. Modified maize starch is an industrially processed thickener; flavourings are added industrial flavoring agents; and onion extract is an industrially processed extract. The presence of these ingredients means the product falls into the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though it also contains basic ingredients like tomatoes, water, sugar, oil, cream, milk, salt, and citric acid.

Yes — Cream of Tomato Soup by Aldi Bramwells is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cream of tomato soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations. Modified maize starch is an industrially processed thickener; flavourings are added industrial flavoring agents; and onion extract is an industrially processed extract. The presence of these ingredients means the product falls into the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though it also contains basic ingredients like tomatoes, water, sugar, oil, cream, milk, salt, and citric acid.
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.
