No — plant chef organic firm tofu by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains water, organic soybeans, and magnesium chloride (a basic coagulant/firming agent). These are simple ingredients without industrial flavorings, sweeteners, or cosmetic additives, so it is not considered ultra-processed 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.
