No — Hobgoblin IPA by Wychwood Brewery is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only listed ingredient is barley, a basic single-ingredient food with no industrial additives, refined syrups, flavourings, or emulsifiers. Based on the provided list, this does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
