Yes — Huile piquante is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday due to added flavouring.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains chilli flavouring, a flavouring additive considered an industrial formulation under NOVA. Extra virgin olive oil and dried chilli are minimally processed ingredients, but the added flavouring leads to the UPF classification.

Yes — Huile piquante by Filippo Berio is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains chilli flavouring, a flavouring additive considered an industrial formulation under NOVA. Extra virgin olive oil and dried chilli are minimally processed ingredients, but the added flavouring leads to the UPF classification.
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.
