No — Minestrone soup is not ultra-processed.
All listed ingredients are whole or basic culinary ingredients (vegetables, pasta, olive oil, herbs, basic seasonings). There are no industrial additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrial sugar syrups.

No — Minestrone soup by Daylesford is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All listed ingredients are whole or basic culinary ingredients (vegetables, pasta, olive oil, herbs, basic seasonings). There are no industrial additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrial sugar syrups. The possible sub-ingredients of “vegetable bouillon powder” are not provided; based only on the given list, there is no explicit UPF additive named, so this cannot be classified as ultra-processed from the data given.
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.
