No — Beluga Lentil by Merchant Gourmet is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product only contains basic ingredients: lentils, water, onion, olive oil, and bay leaf powder. There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, flavor enhancers, or emulsifiers, so it is not classified as ultra-processed 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.
