No — Country vegetable soup by Aldi is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The soup contains only basic culinary ingredients (vegetables, water, cream, cornflour, vegetable stock made from herbs/spices/vegetables, butter, salt, and pepper) with no industrial additives, refined industrial sugars, flavourings, or emulsifiers. These are minimally processed ingredients consistent with NOVA groups 1–3, not ultra-processed foods.
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.
