Common questions about Tomato Cheese Sauce

Is Tomato Cheese Sauce ultra-processed?

No — Tomato Cheese Sauce is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists of vague descriptors like 'creamy tomato sauce', 'natural ingredients', and 'cheesy taste' rather than a proper list of ingredients or additives, so it cannot be reliably assessed for ultra-processing and is marked invalid.

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.
