No — Feta salad is not ultra-processed.

The ingredient list contains basic foods and traditional culinary ingredients only: olives with salt and vinegar, feta cheese, fresh tomato, vegetable oils (sunflower, rapeseed), extra virgin olive oil, herbs, and red wine vinegar. The only additives present are lactic acid and citric acid as acidity regulators in the olives; these are simple, common food acids and are allowed as non-UPF per the guidance (similar to basic additives like citric acid). There are no industrial sweeteners, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, artificial flavorings, or highly processed fats like palm fruit oil. Therefore, this product is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
