No — Classic basmati rice by Aldi is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains a single basic ingredient: basmati rice. This is a minimally processed staple food with no additives, refined industrial ingredients, or cosmetic processing aids, so it is not considered an ultra-processed food 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.
