No — Authentice Green Pesto is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are mostly basic culinary components: basil, extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, cheeses, pine nuts, garlic, and salt. The only additive is ascorbic acid (vitamin C), used as an antioxidant, which is a basic nutrient and not, by itself, an industrial ultra-processing marker under the given rules. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, refined syrups, flavor enhancers, or artificial/natural flavourings, so this 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.
