No — Chilli Vinegar is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are white wine vinegar (with sulphites) and dried chilli. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, refined syrups, or flavourings. Sulphites are simple preservatives permitted in minimally processed products and do not by themselves make a food ultra-processed under the given rules.
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.
