No — Onion bahjis is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are mostly basic flours, spices, and seasonings; no clear ultra-processed additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, or industrial emulsifiers/stabilizers are listed. Lemon juice from concentrate is processed but, by itself, does not make the product UPF under the given rules.
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.
