No — Date Syrup by The Groovy Food Company is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains only organic date syrup, which is a traditional minimally processed sweetener made by concentrating dates. It does not include industrial additives, refined isolated sugars, or other ultra-processed ingredients, so it 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.
