No — levure pâtisserie is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic leavening agents (sodium bicarbonate, sodium pyrophosphate) and a starch carrier (corn starch). These are common baking ingredients and, per the given rules, basic leavening agents and simple starches are not considered ultra-processed foods under NOVA for this context.
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.
