No — Piccolo Beef Bolognese is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, recognizable ingredients.
This is a minimally processed meal made primarily from passata, vegetables, beef, extra virgin olive oil, herbs, and spices. These are conventional culinary ingredients, with no identified artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils that would make it ultra-processed. The apparent percentage formatting and storage/allergen wording do not change the classification.

No — Piccolo Beef Bolognese by Piccolo is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a minimally processed meal made primarily from passata, vegetables, beef, extra virgin olive oil, herbs, and spices. These are conventional culinary ingredients, with no identified artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils that would make it ultra-processed. The apparent percentage formatting and storage/allergen wording do not change the classification.
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.
