No — Tesco spaghetti is not ultra-processed.
This spaghetti is made only from durum wheat semolina, a basic minimally processed ingredient (milled wheat) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, or other ultra-processed components. It therefore does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food in the NOVA system.

No — Tesco spaghetti by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This spaghetti is made only from durum wheat semolina, a basic minimally processed ingredient (milled wheat) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, or other ultra-processed components. It therefore does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food in the NOVA system.
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.
