No — Butternut squash tortelloni is not ultra-processed.
The only listed ingredient is lactic acid, which on its own is a simple organic acid commonly used as an acidity regulator or preservative, and is allowed as a basic food additive under the given rules. There are no industrial formulations, refined syrups, flavorings, emulsifiers, or other ultra-processed markers provided in the ingredient list. However, in reality, a butternut squash tortelloni product would normally contain multiple additional ingredients; since they are not listed here, the assessment can only be based on the provided single ingredient.

No — Butternut squash tortelloni by Jamie Oliver is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food).

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.
