No — Beluga Lentil by Merchant Gourmet is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a minimally processed lentil dish made with cooked beluga lentils, onion, olive oil, bay leaf, and water. These are simple culinary ingredients, with no industrial formulations or additives that would qualify it as ultra-processed. The allergen trace statement does not change the classification.
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.
