No — Beetroot in a sweet chilli marinade by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are beetroot, white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, extra virgin olive oil, and chilli extract. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or refined syrups, so the product is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF) under the given rules.
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.
