Yes — Vegetable Gravy by Aah Bisto 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 dried glucose syrup, maltodextrin, flavourings, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5'-ribonucleotides), colour (ammonia caramel), and emulsifier (soya lecithin). These are characteristic of NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods.
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.
