No — Basmati Rice Pouch is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are water, basmati rice (98%), rapeseed oil, and salt. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, refined syrups, flavor enhancers, or emulsifiers. According to the NOVA criteria provided, this would not be considered an ultra-processed food.
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.
