No — Spiced Parsnip Soup by Tideford organics is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains only basic foods and culinary ingredients (vegetables, pulses, grains, oils, spices, salt, rice flour, cornflour, creamed coconut).

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.
