No — Besciamella Leggera by Chef, Parmalat is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and contains only basic culinary ingredients: partially skimmed milk, cream, wheat flour, corn starch, and salt, plus an allergen trace statement for soy. There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, thickeners beyond basic starch, sweeteners, flavorings, or highly processed oils like palm fruit oil). Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed according to 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.
