No — Cornichons is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list (cornichons, water, salt, vinegar with sulphites) contains only basic foods and traditional processing agents. Vinegar and sulphites used as preservatives do not fall under the specified ultra‑processed additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, industrial flavorings, or refined syrups. Therefore this is not classified as an ultra‑processed food (NOVA).

No — Cornichons by Cypressa is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list (cornichons, water, salt, vinegar with sulphites) contains only basic foods and traditional processing agents. Vinegar and sulphites used as preservatives do not fall under the specified ultra‑processed additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, industrial flavorings, or refined syrups. Therefore this is not classified as an ultra‑processed food (NOVA).
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.
