Yes — Apple & Pear Chutney is ultra-processed.
A tasty condiment, but not ideal for everyday use.
Apple and pear chutney is a processed condiment, and it contains malted barley vinegar. Malted barley extract is considered an industrially processed flavor-enhancing extract under the specified criteria. The product is therefore classified as ultra-processed. The other ingredients—fruit, sugar, treacle, vinegar, dried fruit, vegetables, salt, and spices—do not independently trigger the UPF classification.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
