No — Macaroni Cheese by Inspired Cuisine, Aldi is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains only basic culinary ingredients (pasta from durum wheat, water, cheddar cheese, milk, cream, cornflour, salt, spices, mustard). There are no industrial formulations, refined industrial sugars, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, or other additives associated with ultra-processed foods in the NOVA framework.
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.
