No — Moroccan style chickpea and red pepper tangine by deliciously Ella is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of whole or minimally processed foods and basic culinary ingredients: vegetables, legumes, fruit (apricots), herbs, spices, salt, maple syrup, rapeseed oil, garlic and ginger purees, and cornflour. There are no industrial additives such as emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or industrial sugar syrups. Maple syrup is a traditional sweetener and rapeseed oil is a basic vegetable oil, both of which are not classified as ultra-processed under the given criteria.
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.
