No — Saxa Ground Black Pepper by saxa is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains only ground black pepper, which is a single-ingredient, minimally processed spice with no additives, refined sugars, or industrial formulations. This fits NOVA group 1 (unprocessed or minimally processed) rather than 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.
