No — Organic Instant Brown Rice Miso Soup Paste X4 by Clearspring is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All listed ingredients (brown rice miso made from whole soybeans, fermented brown rice, sea salt, water; mirin made from rice and fermentation; onion purée; wakame seaweed; kombu seaweed extract; water) are minimally processed or traditionally fermented foods with no industrial additives, refined industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or other ultra-processed ingredients according to NOVA. Therefore this product is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF).
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.
