As I said - anything surprisingly gluten free or surprisingly vegan is going to be UPF.
Sometimes I wonder if the gluten free trend is a ploy by food processing companies to whitewash expensive proprietary processed foods as “whole”.

- non processed: fruits, grains, roots, leafs, pulses
- processed: pasta, breads, nuts milks, sorbet, fries
- UPF: most drinks, most sweeties, most prepared food
Some exceptions exists but don't change the general trend: - vegan burger: some are UPF, some are just smashed fallafels
- GF bread: rice or rye bread suits most gluten intolerants. Those suffering allergies have limited options obviously (which include abstaining from bread) but their medical condition isn't a "gluten free trend".
- meats cuts: some contains sodium nitrite and other nasty additives while others are just raw animals parts.
