No — Mediterranean Pasta Meal for One by Birdseye Steamfresh is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic minimally processed ingredients only: cooked pasta from durum wheat semolina and water, vegetables, tomato, tomato purée, rapeseed oil, herbs, spices, and salt.

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.
