No — Easy Cook Brown Rice by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains a single basic ingredient: brown rice. There are no additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other industrial ingredients, so this is not classified as an ultra-processed food under NOVA.
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.
