No — Spaghetti by Everyday essential is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and contains only durum wheat, which is a basic single-ingredient food minimally processed by milling and drying into pasta. There are no industrial additives, isolated sugars, refined/hydrogenated oils, or flavorings, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under 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.
