No — Spicy Kimchi Vegetables is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are just fresh vegetables (Chinese leaf cabbage, carrots, spring onion) and basic culinary ingredients (sea salt, chilli powder, ginger, garlic). There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or highly processed fats. This would fall into minimally processed foods under NOVA, not ultra-processed.

No — Spicy Kimchi Vegetables is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are just fresh vegetables (Chinese leaf cabbage, carrots, spring onion) and basic culinary ingredients (sea salt, chilli powder, ginger, garlic). There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or highly processed fats. This would fall into minimally processed foods under NOVA, not ultra-processed.
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.
