No — Garlic Puree by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food).

No industrial formulations, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavorings are present.
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.
