Yes — Cajun Style Seasoning is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including maltodextrin, yeast extract, and smoke flavouring, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients. It also contains anti-caking agent silicon dioxide and added colours (plain caramel, paprika extract), which are industrial additives used to modify texture, appearance, and stability. While many herbs and spices are minimally processed, the presence of these UPF ingredients makes the overall product UPF.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Cajun Style Seasoning by Batts is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including maltodextrin, yeast extract, and smoke flavouring, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients. It also contains anti-caking agent silicon dioxide and added colours (plain caramel, paprika extract), which are industrial additives used to modify texture, appearance, and stability. While many herbs and spices are minimally processed, the presence of these UPF ingredients makes the overall product UPF.
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.
