Yes — Caesar dressing is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This Caesar dressing is classified as ultra-processed because it contains tamarind extract and lemon oil, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients and are extracted or isolated industrial additives. The remaining ingredients are generally basic culinary ingredients or traditionally processed foods, but these two ingredients are sufficient for the UPF classification.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Caesar dressing by By sainsbury's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This Caesar dressing is classified as ultra-processed because it contains tamarind extract and lemon oil, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients and are extracted or isolated industrial additives. The remaining ingredients are generally basic culinary ingredients or traditionally processed foods, but these two ingredients are sufficient for the UPF classification.
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.
