Yes — BEANZ In a rich tomato sauce NO ADDED SUGAR is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains modified cornflour, natural flavouring, spice extracts, sweetener (steviol glycosides), and herb extract. These extracted or industrially formulated additives are characteristic of ultra-processed foods under the NOVA classification. The beans, tomatoes, water, vinegar, salt, and naturally occurring sugars do not independently make it ultra-processed.

Yes — BEANZ In a rich tomato sauce NO ADDED SUGAR by HEINZ is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains modified cornflour, natural flavouring, spice extracts, sweetener (steviol glycosides), and herb extract. These extracted or industrially formulated additives are characteristic of ultra-processed foods under the NOVA classification. The beans, tomatoes, water, vinegar, salt, and naturally occurring sugars do not independently 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.
