No — Baked giant brans in rich tomato sauce by Biona Organic is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of whole or minimally processed foods and basic culinary ingredients (rehydrated beans, tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, herbs, sea salt, lemon juice, paprika, garlic, spices). There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other markers of ultra-processing according to 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.
