The product only contains basic ingredients (cauliflower, potatoes, potato flakes, sunflower oil, water, corn starch, onion, salt, black pepper) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, or emulsifiers, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

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.
