No — Caramelised Red Onion Chutney is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list contains onions, vinegars, sugar, butter, spices, salt, pectin, and vegetable/garlic/paprika preparations. These are all basic or minimally processed culinary ingredients. Pectin is a traditional gelling agent and acceptable additive. There are no industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, industrial extracts, or refined syrups that would classify this as ultra-processed under NOVA.

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.
