No — Indian inspired onion bhaji rice salad is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list consists only of basic foods and standard culinary ingredients (lentils, rice, vegetables, yogurt, spices, basic vinegar, sugar, cornflour, concentrated lemon juice, egg yolk). There are no industrially processed additives such as artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, thickeners, or refined industrial syrups. Therefore this does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food under NOVA.

No — Indian inspired onion bhaji rice salad by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of basic foods and standard culinary ingredients (lentils, rice, vegetables, yogurt, spices, basic vinegar, sugar, cornflour, concentrated lemon juice, egg yolk). There are no industrially processed additives such as artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, thickeners, or refined industrial syrups. Therefore this does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food under NOVA.
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.
