No — Japanese Mellow White Miso Instant Soup 4 x (40g) is not ultra-processed.
All listed ingredients (freeze-dried miso from whole soybeans, rice, sea salt, roasted barley flour; dried green onions; freeze-dried tofu using traditional coagulant nigari; kuzu) are minimally processed or traditionally processed foods without industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, or other markers of ultra-processing. Freeze-drying and instant format alone do not make a product ultra-processed under the specified NOVA-based criteria.

No — Japanese Mellow White Miso Instant Soup 4 x (40g) by Clearspring is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All listed ingredients (freeze-dried miso from whole soybeans, rice, sea salt, roasted barley flour; dried green onions; freeze-dried tofu using traditional coagulant nigari; kuzu) are minimally processed or traditionally processed foods without industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, or other markers of ultra-processing. Freeze-drying and instant format alone do not make a product ultra-processed under the specified NOVA-based criteria.
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.
Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
