Understanding Food Processing: The NOVA Framework
Epidemiological studies consistently link high diets in Group 4 Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF) to cardiometabolic risks.
| NOVA Tier | Classification | Description | Common Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Unprocessed or Minimally Processed | Natural foods altered only by drying, roasting, freezing, or pasteurization with no added substances. | Fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, raw grains, pasteurized milk, unsalted nuts. |
| Group 2 | Processed Culinary Ingredients | Substances extracted from nature, used to season and cook Group 1 foods in home cooking. | Extra virgin olive oil, butter, table salt, cane sugar, vinegar, honey. |
| Group 3 | Processed Foods | Relatively simple foods made by combining Group 1 foods with salt, sugar, or oil. | Canned vegetables in brine, freshly baked bakery bread, cured bacon, cheese. |
| Group 4 | Ultra-Processed Food & Drink (UPF) | Industrial formulations with little intact whole food, containing emulsifiers, artificial flavorings, and high fructose corn syrup. | Energy drinks, soft drinks, chicken nuggets, packaged pastries, instant noodles. |

When to use it
Use when checking whether packaged pantry staples contain hidden palm oil or emulsifiers, verifying allergens for family members with celiac disease or nut allergies, or auditing grocery choices for clean eating.
Common questions
What is the Nutri-Score system?
Nutri-Score is a nutritional rating system adopted across European countries that grades food from A (highest nutritional quality, dark green) to E (lower nutritional quality, dark orange) based on positive nutrients (fiber, protein, fruit/veg percentage) versus negative components (calories, sugar, salt, saturated fatty acids).
What do the NOVA classification groups mean?
Developed by the University of São Paulo, NOVA categorizes foods by industrial processing level: Group 1 (Unprocessed or minimally processed), Group 2 (Processed culinary ingredients like oils and butter), Group 3 (Processed foods), and Group 4 (Ultra-processed food and drink formulations containing artificial flavorings and emulsifiers).
Where does the food database come from?
The tool uses an offline curated index of popular household brands and integrates directly with the crowdsourced Open Food Facts global database via live client-side API requests.
Can I search by product name instead of barcode?
Yes. If you don't have the barcode packaging handy, typing the product name or clicking the sample presets will retrieve the complete nutritional analysis.
