No — Soffritto Passata by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are tomato purée, a soffritto mix (olive oil, onion, carrot, celery, garlic), sugar, salt, and lactic acid as an acidity regulator. These are all basic culinary ingredients or simple additives.

Therefore, this product is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF) 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.
