Not Ultra-Processed

No — Hearty Root Vegetable with Pearl Barley is not ultra-processed.

All listed ingredients are basic foods or simple culinary ingredients (vegetables, water, onion, leek, celery, cream, pearl barley, butter, herbs, spices, salt, potato starch). The vegetable bouillon appears to be composed only of salt, dried vegetables, spices, and herbs, with no industrial additives (e.g., flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, refined industrial syrups, maltodextrin, palm oil, or flavorings). Therefore, under NOVA, this would not be considered ultra-processed.

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.
