Common questions about Mash

Is Mash ultra-processed?

No — Mash by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All ingredients are basic, minimally processed foods (vegetables, butter, milk, cream, salt, white pepper). No industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, or flavorings are present, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
