Yes — big soup is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This beef and vegetable soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified cornflour, yeast extracts, flavouring, and plain caramel colour. These industrially processed ingredients and additives are UPF markers under the NOVA classification. The remaining ingredients are mostly conventional foods and basic culinary ingredients, but the identified additives are sufficient for the UPF classification.
Other cupboard staples Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — big soup by heinz is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This beef and vegetable soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified cornflour, yeast extracts, flavouring, and plain caramel colour. These industrially processed ingredients and additives are UPF markers under the NOVA classification. The remaining ingredients are mostly conventional foods and basic culinary ingredients, but the identified additives are sufficient for the UPF 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.
