Common questions about honey

Is honey ultra-processed?

No — honey is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients listed are basic, natural ingredients (honey, spring flowers, thyme) and do not include any industrial formulations, food additives, or processed ingredients that would classify them as ultra-processed according to the NOVA classification system.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?
