No — Tomato & lentil ragu is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list contains only whole or minimally processed foods (vegetables, lentils, herbs, extra virgin olive oil, basic seasonings, and simple concentrates). There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, refined syrups, maltodextrin, etc.), so under NOVA this would not be classified as ultra-processed.

No — Tomato & lentil ragu by Heinz is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains only whole or minimally processed foods (vegetables, lentils, herbs, extra virgin olive oil, basic seasonings, and simple concentrates). There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, refined syrups, maltodextrin, etc.), so under NOVA this would not be classified as 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.
