No — Spirali by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is durum wheat semolina, which is a basic minimally processed ingredient without industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids characteristic of ultra-processed foods.
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.
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.
