Chicken Korma with pilau

Barcode 4088600068602
Not Ultra-Processed

No — Chicken Korma with pilau is not ultra-processed.

The dish is composed of basic culinary ingredients (rice, chicken, dairy, coconut, nuts, spices, herbs, vegetable oils, tomato paste, sugar, and simple purees) without industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavor enhancers, or other cosmetic additives. Cornflour and canola/rapeseed oil are standard cooking ingredients and not UPF by themselves, and there are no isolated industrial sugars like glucose syrup or maltodextrin. Therefore it does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

Common questions about Chicken Korma with pilau

Is Chicken Korma with pilau ultra-processed?

No — Chicken Korma with pilau by Inspired cuisine is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The dish is composed of basic culinary ingredients (rice, chicken, dairy, coconut, nuts, spices, herbs, vegetable oils, tomato paste, sugar, and simple purees) without industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavor enhancers, or other cosmetic additives. Cornflour and canola/rapeseed oil are standard cooking ingredients and not UPF by themselves, and there are no isolated industrial sugars like glucose syrup or maltodextrin. Therefore it does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

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.
