Yes — Coop Chicken & Bakon Ceasar Pasta Salad by Coop is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including cornflour (modified starch), sodium ascorbate (antioxidant), and sodium nitrite (preservative). These are characteristic of NOVA 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.
