Not Ultra-Processed

No — Vegetable soup is not ultra-processed.

The soup contains water, vegetables, lentils, milk, cream, rapeseed oil, salt, herbs, and spices, with no industrial additives, refined industrial syrups, flavor enhancers, or emulsifiers. Rapeseed oil is considered a basic culinary oil, and the remaining ingredients are whole foods or simple seasonings, so it is not classified as an ultra-processed food under NOVA.

Common questions about Vegetable soup

Is Vegetable soup ultra-processed?

The soup contains water, vegetables, lentils, milk, cream, rapeseed oil, salt, herbs, and spices, with no industrial additives, refined industrial syrups, flavor enhancers, or emulsifiers.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
