No — Moroccan Spiced Falafel is not ultra-processed.
All ingredients are basic foods or culinary ingredients (chickpeas, vegetables, dried fruits, rice flour, oil, herbs, spices, salt, and a simple raising agent). There are no industrial additives, refined industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or modified oils present, so this would not be classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

No — Moroccan Spiced Falafel by Gosh is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All ingredients are basic foods or culinary ingredients (chickpeas, vegetables, dried fruits, rice flour, oil, herbs, spices, salt, and a simple raising agent). There are no industrial additives, refined industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or modified oils present, so this would not be 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.
