No — Aldi Slightly Salted Rice Cake by Aldi is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This rice cake contains only brown rice and sea salt, which are minimally processed staple ingredients with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or cosmetic processing aids. It therefore does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food.
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.
