No — Kala Chana in salted water by KTC is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are just brown chickpeas, water, and salt, without any industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids, so this is not considered an ultra-processed food under 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.
