Common questions about Indian Lentil & Spinach Dhal

Is Indian Lentil & Spinach Dhal ultra-processed?

No — Indian Lentil & Spinach Dhal by Tideford Organics is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of basic foods (water, vegetables, lentils, spices, salt, oils, creamed coconut) and a simple vegetable bouillon and curry powder without industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, or artificial flavourings, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
