No — Moroccan Style Houmous by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). No industrial formulations or cosmetic additives are present. Ingredients are basic foods and seasonings: chickpeas, tahini, vegetable oil, herbs, spices, small amount of sugar and salt, and concentrated lemon juice, none of which are classified as ultra-processed under the provided NOVA-based 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.
