No — Mashed Potato by The co-operative is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic, minimally processed foods (potato, milk, butter, salt, white pepper) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial flavors, or emulsifiers, so this is not ultra-processed under NOVA.
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.
