No — Malaysian inspired coconut noodle laksa by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are all basic foods or simple culinary ingredients (water, vegetables, herbs, spices, coconut milk, rice noodles, oil, sugar, salt, cornflour). No industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, or emulsifiers are listed, so it is not classified as ultra-processed according to 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.
