No — Wholewheat Penne by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains a single basic ingredient: durum wholewheat semolina. This is a minimally processed staple food (NOVA 1), with no industrial additives, refined syrups, flavorings, or emulsifiers, so it is not considered an ultra-processed food (UPF).
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.
