No — Long Grain Rice by Ben's Original is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Parboiled long grain rice is a minimally processed staple food. Parboiling involves heat treatment to improve cooking and nutrient retention, but it does not make the rice an industrial formulation or add UPF-defining additives.
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.
