Tomato Herb Sauce

Barcode 01736175

No — Tomato Herb Sauce is not ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid and consists mainly of whole or minimally processed foods: tomatoes, sunflower oil, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, garlic, and oregano. The only additive is lactic acid used as an acidity regulator, which is a basic food acid and not, by itself, a marker of ultra-processing. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, refined syrups, or other characteristic ultra-processed additives. Therefore, this product is not classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4).

Is Tomato Herb Sauce ultra-processed?

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?
