No — 5 Bean Medley by Merchant Gourmet is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains only cooked beans, water, extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt. These are all minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids typical of ultra-processed foods.
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.
