All ingredients listed are whole foods or basic culinary ingredients (beans, vegetables, oats, tomato purée, potato starch, miso, spices, salt, agave syrup, balsamic vinegar).

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.
