Common questions about Black pudding

Is Black pudding ultra-processed?

No — Black pudding is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is composed of basic culinary ingredients (reconstituted pig’s blood, beef fat, rehydrated onion, cereals, herbs, spices, salt) and fortified wheat flour.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
