Yes — Spring Vegetable Soup is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrial additives.
Spring Vegetable Soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified cornflour and beta-carotene colouring, both pre-identified UPF ingredients. It also contains flavourings, which are industrial flavouring additives. The wheat flour, vitamins and minerals, sugar, rapeseed oil, salt, and vegetables are not UPF factors on their own.

Yes — Spring Vegetable Soup by Heinz is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Spring Vegetable Soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified cornflour and beta-carotene colouring, both pre-identified UPF ingredients. It also contains flavourings, which are industrial flavouring additives. The wheat flour, vitamins and minerals, sugar, rapeseed oil, salt, and vegetables are not UPF factors on their own.
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.
