No — Panang Curry Paste by Mae Ploy is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Panang curry paste is made from recognizable culinary ingredients such as dried chilli, lemongrass, shallot, salt, garlic, galangal, mung bean, shrimp paste, kaffir lime peel, coriander seed, cumin, and pepper. These are minimally processed foods and traditional cooking ingredients, with no industrial additives, refined syrups, highly processed oils, or flavorings that would indicate ultra-processing.
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.
