No — Tesco Scottish Shortbread Assortment Tin by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic culinary ingredients (wheat flour with vitamin/mineral fortification, butter, sugar, cornflour, salt). No industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavorings are present, 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.
