No — Seville Orange Marmalade is not ultra-processed.

The ingredients are sugar, Seville oranges, orange juice from concentrate, lemon juice from concentrate, fruit pectin as gelling agent, acetic acid as acidity regulator, and orange oil. These are basic culinary ingredients and traditional jam components. Pectin and acetic acid are simple, common additives used in home cooking and preserving and are not considered ultra-processed in the NOVA sense. There are no artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, industrially processed syrups (like glucose-fructose syrup or maltodextrin), refined palm oil, or other industrial formulations, so this marmalade is not classified as ultra-processed.

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.
