No — Red Lentil rice is not ultra-processed.
This product contains only red lentil flour, which is a single minimally processed ingredient (lentils that have been dried and milled). It does not contain industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other markers of ultra-processing, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under the NOVA system.

No — Red Lentil rice is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product contains only red lentil flour, which is a single minimally processed ingredient (lentils that have been dried and milled). It does not contain industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other markers of ultra-processing, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under the NOVA system.
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.
