Yes — Basmati Rice is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains the additive glucono delta lactone used as an acidity regulator, which is an industrially produced additive characteristic of ultra-processed foods. The added refined oil further indicates additional industrial processing beyond basic cooking ingredients.
