No — Tamarind paste by Morrisons is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are tamarind extract, water, sunflower oil, white wine vinegar, and cornflour. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, colorings, or flavorings. Therefore, this is not considered an ultra-processed food according to 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.
