No — Farfalle by ASDA is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is durum wheat semolina, a basic single-ingredient culinary staple with no additives, refined syrups, or industrial processing aids listed. This fits NOVA group 1 (minimally processed foods), not 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.
