No — HEINEKEN Lager Beer 4 x Cans by Heineken is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list (water, malted barley, hop extract) contains only basic brewing ingredients and a traditional hop-derived extract. There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavorings, so this beer is not classified as ultra-processed under 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.
