No — Maple Syrup is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is maple syrup, a traditional natural sweetener that is minimally processed (sap boiled down) and explicitly considered not ultra-processed under the given NOVA-based rules.
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.
