No — Sesame Oil by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Sesame oil is a basic single-ingredient culinary oil. It does not contain industrial additives, flavorings, emulsifiers, sweeteners, or highly processed oil formulations, so it is not ultra-processed.
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.
