No — Pastéis de Nata by Panike is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and consists only of basic culinary ingredients: water, wheat flour, sugar, butter (with natural colorant beta-carotene E160a), egg yolk, milk powder, egg, corn starch, and salt. These are minimally processed or processed culinary ingredients and do not include industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other markers of ultra-processing under NOVA.
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.
