Yes — Cup a Soup Chicken & Vegetable with Croutons 4 Pack is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup, palm oil, flavourings, milk protein, yeast extract, and emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids). These ingredients indicate industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing.

Yes — Cup a Soup Chicken & Vegetable with Croutons 4 Pack by Batchelors is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup, palm oil, flavourings, milk protein, yeast extract, and emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids). These ingredients indicate industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing.
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.
