Yes — Mega Med Grains by Jamie Oliver is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA. Specifically: stabiliser: guar gum, colour: paprika extract, turmeric extract, and natural flavouring are all industrial additives not used in home kitchens. Their presence makes the overall product ultra-processed, even though many base ingredients (grains, vegetables, oils) are minimally 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.
