Yes — Classic Pilau Rice by Aldi is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This pilau rice contains several ultra-processed ingredients and additives, including turmeric extract (an industrial extract), dextrose (a refined industrial sugar), yeast extract (a flavor enhancer), and guar gum (a stabilizer/thickener). These industrial formulations and additives place it in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category.
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.
