No — Red and white quinoa by Aldi is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product only contains cooked quinoa (red and white), water, and olive oil, all of which are basic, minimally processed ingredients with no additives, refined industrial sugars, or ultra-processed components. Therefore it is not an ultra-processed food according to NOVA.
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.
