No — Velvety Smooth Houmous by Coop is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This hummus is made from recognizable culinary ingredients: chickpeas, water, rapeseed oil, sesame paste, extra virgin olive oil, concentrated lemon juice, garlic, and salt. It contains no industrial formulations or additives that trigger a UPF classification, such as emulsifiers, flavourings, refined industrial syrups, or hydrogenated oils. Concentrated lemon juice and the listed oils are not sufficient to make it ultra-processed.
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.
