No — Pizza by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic culinary ingredients (flour, cheese, tomato purée, oil, herbs, spices, yeast) and standard baking additives (ascorbic acid as a flour treatment agent). It does not contain industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, industrial syrups, flavor enhancers, or modified starches, so under the given rules it is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF).
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.
