Yes — Mediterranean Grains Tomato And Olive is ultra-processed.
A wholesome grain dish, but its additives make it ultra-processed.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains colour (paprika extract), an extracted additive identified as a UPF ingredient. Ferrous gluconate is also an industrial stabilising additive used in the olives. The grains, vegetables, herbs, olive oil, and basic seasonings are otherwise minimally processed.
