No — Chickpeas Dried by Laila is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only intentional ingredient is chickpeas, a single whole food. The “may contain cereals containing gluten” statement is an allergen warning, not an added ingredient. There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, flavorings, or processed fats, so this product is not classified as ultra-processed 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.
