No — Butternut squash & tarragon soup by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are basic culinary items (vegetables, dairy, herbs, sugar, salt, cornflour, lemon juice) without industrial additives, refined syrups, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra-processing according to 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.
