No — Wholegrain Basmati & Quinoa Rice is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are minimally processed foods: steamed whole grains (brown basmati rice, quinoa), basic vegetable oils (sunflower, olive), vegetables and herbs in vegetable stock powder, rice flour, salt, and turmeric/parsley. There are no industrial additives such as emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils like palm fruit oil. Therefore, under NOVA, this would not be classified as ultra-processed.

No — Wholegrain Basmati & Quinoa Rice by Tilda is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are minimally processed foods: steamed whole grains (brown basmati rice, quinoa), basic vegetable oils (sunflower, olive), vegetables and herbs in vegetable stock powder, rice flour, salt, and turmeric/parsley. There are no industrial additives such as emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils like palm fruit oil. Therefore, under NOVA, this would not be classified as ultra-processed.
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.
