Yes — Touch of butter is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes palm oil (a highly refined oil treated as UPF in these guidelines) and several industrial additives: emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), added flavouring/aroma, and added vitamins A and D as isolated ingredients. These are characteristic of industrial formulations in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Touch of butter by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes palm oil (a highly refined oil treated as UPF in these guidelines) and several industrial additives: emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), added flavouring/aroma, and added vitamins A and D as isolated ingredients. These are characteristic of industrial formulations in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
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.
