This red pesto contains mainly culinary ingredients: tomato products, vegetable oils, nuts, cheeses, vegetables, herbs, salt, and standard food acids/antioxidants (lactic acid, ascorbic acid).

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.
