No — Lemon curd is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, familiar ingredients.
Lemon curd is not ultra-processed under the stated NOVA guidance. It contains familiar culinary ingredients: sugar, salted butter, lemon juice, eggs, citric acid, citrus pectin, and lemon oil. Citric acid is a basic acidity regulator, and pectin is a traditional fruit-derived gelling agent; neither is classified as UPF here. No artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils are present.
