No — Sweet & tender baby beetroot by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are beetroot (99.5%) and barley malt vinegar. These are minimally processed ingredients without industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, or flavourings, so the product is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.
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.
