Yes — Vegetable Stew is ultra-processed.
A vegetable-rich dish, but not ideal for everyday eating due to industrial additives.
This appears to be a vegetable-based stew containing sunflower seeds, carrots, mushrooms, roasted red onion, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, herbs, and spices. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer and pre-identified UPF ingredient. Cornstarch and concentrated ingredients such as lemon juice concentrate and concentrated paprika also indicate industrial processing, while the other ingredients are generally basic culinary foods.
Yes — Vegetable Stew is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be a vegetable-based stew containing sunflower seeds, carrots, mushrooms, roasted red onion, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, herbs, and spices. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer and pre-identified UPF ingredient. Cornstarch and concentrated ingredients such as lemon juice concentrate and concentrated paprika also indicate industrial processing, while the other ingredients are generally basic culinary foods.
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.
