No — rustic vegetable soup is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list consists of water, vegetables, pulses, basic oil, herbs, spices, and a simple vegetable bouillon made from salt, potato starch, dried vegetables, and spices. There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, industrial syrups, maltodextrin, modified starches, or artificial/natural flavourings) or highly processed ingredients like palm fruit oil. Potato starch and dried vegetables within the bouillon are basic culinary ingredients, not ultra-processed additives. Therefore, according to NOVA, this is not an ultra-processed food (not UPF).

No — rustic vegetable soup by Yorkshire provender is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists of water, vegetables, pulses, basic oil, herbs, spices, and a simple vegetable bouillon made from salt, potato starch, dried vegetables, and spices. There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, industrial syrups, maltodextrin, modified starches, or artificial/natural flavourings) or highly processed ingredients like palm fruit oil. Potato starch and dried vegetables within the bouillon are basic culinary ingredients, not ultra-processed additives. Therefore, according to NOVA, this is not an ultra-processed food (not UPF).
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.
