No — Spicy Red Lentil Soup is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list consists only of whole foods (vegetables, lentils, oils, spices, extracts, and basic salt). There are no industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrially processed sugars. Rapeseed and sunflower oils are considered basic culinary oils, and yeast extract and vegetable extracts are flavoring ingredients but not UPF by themselves in this context.

No — Spicy Red Lentil Soup by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of whole foods (vegetables, lentils, oils, spices, extracts, and basic salt). There are no industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrially processed sugars. Rapeseed and sunflower oils are considered basic culinary oils, and yeast extract and vegetable extracts are flavoring ingredients but not UPF by themselves in this context.
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.
