Yes — Chicken and Veg Big Soup by Heinz Big Soup is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include industrial additives such as modified cornflour, flavourings, and added colours (plain caramel, beta-carotene), which are hallmarks of ultra-processed foods under the NOVA classification.
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.
