Yes — Cream of Tomato Soup is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch and flavourings, both industrially processed additives associated with UPF formulations. The soup also includes a ready-to-eat processed formulation, although the decisive factors are the modified maize starch and flavourings. Sugar, rapeseed oil, citric acid, and the other conventional food ingredients do not independently determine the classification.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Cream of Tomato Soup by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch and flavourings, both industrially processed additives associated with UPF formulations. The soup also includes a ready-to-eat processed formulation, although the decisive factors are the modified maize starch and flavourings. Sugar, rapeseed oil, citric acid, and the other conventional food ingredients do not independently determine the classification.
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.
