No — Straight To Wok Udon Noodles by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic culinary ingredients (wheat flour, water, tapioca flour, canola oil, salt) with simple acidity regulators (lactic acid, sodium phosphate) and an antioxidant (alpha-tocopherol). These are not industrial flavorings, refined syrups, or ultra-processed additives per NOVA; therefore the product is not classified as 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.
