The ingredient list is valid and consists only of basic foods and common culinary ingredients (water, tomatoes, tomato purée, vegetables, cream, sugar, olive oil, cornflour, vinegar, salt, and spices).

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.
