No — Pesto Vegan basil by Belazu is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and consists mainly of whole or minimally processed foods: basil, rapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil, haricot beans, spinach, garlic puree, sunflower oil, salt, pine nuts, and nutritional yeast. The only additive, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), is a simple antioxidant/acidity regulator and is allowed as a basic additive under the given rules. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavorings, or refined syrups, so this product is not classified as ultra-processed according to the NOVA-based criteria provided.
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.
