No — Chicken & Vegetable Soup is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are mainly whole foods (vegetables, chicken, herbs, butter) and basic culinary ingredients (salt, cornflour, stock components). There are no industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers such as MSG, or industrial syrups. Yeast extract is a processed ingredient but not, by itself, enough to classify the product as ultra-processed under the provided rules.

No — Chicken & Vegetable Soup by Coop is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are mainly whole foods (vegetables, chicken, herbs, butter) and basic culinary ingredients (salt, cornflour, stock components). There are no industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers such as MSG, or industrial syrups. Yeast extract is a processed ingredient but not, by itself, enough to classify the product as ultra-processed under the provided 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.
