The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and formulations, specifically: dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), and stabiliser (glycerol). According to the NOVA criteria, the presence of such additives used to modify texture, shelf life, or sensory qualities is sufficient to classify a food as UPF.

Yes — 8 Tortilla Pockets by Old El Paso is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and formulations, specifically: dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), and stabiliser (glycerol). According to the NOVA criteria, the presence of such additives used to modify texture, shelf life, or sensory qualities is sufficient to classify a food as UPF.
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.
