No — Premium Pickled Onions Hot & Spicy by Barry Norman is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic foods and traditional culinary ingredients (onions, barley malt vinegar, brown sugar, salt, spices including mustard) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, or artificial ingredients, so this is not ultra-processed under 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.
