No — Black Tapenade is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are mostly whole or minimally processed foods: olives, rapeseed oil, sun-dried tomato, salt, capers, garlic purée, cumin, and citric acid as a simple acidity regulator. There are no industrial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other ultra-processed additives. Citric acid is a basic food additive permitted under the rules and does not by itself make the product ultra-processed.

No — Black Tapenade is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are mostly whole or minimally processed foods: olives, rapeseed oil, sun-dried tomato, salt, capers, garlic purée, cumin, and citric acid as a simple acidity regulator. There are no industrial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other ultra-processed additives. Citric acid is a basic food additive permitted under the rules and does not by itself make the product ultra-processed.
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.
