No — Chunky Chips by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are potatoes, basic culinary vegetable oils (rapeseed/sunflower), wheat flour (with standard vitamin/mineral fortification), wheat starch, salt, and black pepper. There are no industrially processed sugars, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, artificial sweeteners, or other cosmetic additives. Under NOVA, this would be classified as processed, but not ultra-processed.
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.
