Yes — Mild french mustard by Asda is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains turmeric extract, which is an extracted, isolated additive and is explicitly pre-identified as a UPF ingredient in the criteria. Other ingredients are mostly minimally processed or culinary ingredients, but the presence of turmeric extract makes the overall product UPF under NOVA-based rules.
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.
