No — Italian Tomato Purée is not ultra-processed.
This tomato purée contains only tomatoes and citric acid as an acidity regulator. Citric acid is a simple, common food acidulant rather than an industrial flavoring, sweetener, or texturizing additive. The product is therefore minimally processed and does not fall into the ultra-processed category.

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.
