Yes — PLANT-BASED SHAWARMA KEBAB by VIV ERA is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains industrially processed ingredients and additives, including hydrated vegetable (soy) protein and natural flavourings, which are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
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.
