Common questions about Spicy Tarka Lentil Daal

Is Spicy Tarka Lentil Daal ultra-processed?

No — Spicy Tarka Lentil Daal is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains only basic culinary ingredients (lentils, water, vegetables, spices, sunflower oil, salt) and no industrial additives, refined industrial syrups, flavorings, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra-processing, so it is not classified as an ultra-processed food under NOVA.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
