No — Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, familiar cooking ingredients.
This is a minimally processed pasta sauce made mainly from tomatoes, onions, tomato purée, olive oil, rapeseed oil, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and sugar. These are ordinary culinary ingredients, and the included demerara sugar and sugar are basic sugars rather than industrial syrup formulations. No ultra-processed additives or industrial formulations such as flavourings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, or refined syrup ingredients are present. The trailing text appears to be preparation or packaging wording rather than an ingredient.
