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.

No — Vegetable soup by New Covent Garden is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). 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.
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.
