Yes — Crunchy Peanut Butter ( beurre de cacahuète) is ultra-processed.
Classified as UPF because it contains palm oil, which is a highly processed refined oil ingredient considered ultra-processed in the NOVA framework used here. The other ingredients (roasted peanuts, brown cane sugar, sea salt) are minimally processed/basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of palm oil makes the overall product UPF.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
