No — Tomato Passata by Cucina is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is tomato purée, which is a minimally processed single-ingredient food with no additives, refined sugars, or industrial formulations. Therefore it is not ultra-processed 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.
