No — Heinz Tomato and Chilli Sauce by Heinz is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This tomato and chilli arrabbiata sauce contains only basic culinary ingredients such as tomatoes, tomato puree, onion, extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, herbs, spices, sea salt, and lemon juice concentrate. These are all minimally processed foods or traditional kitchen ingredients and do not include industrial flavorings, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, or other cosmetic additives associated with ultra-processed foods in the NOVA system.
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.
