These include dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), nitritpökelsalz containing sodium nitrite (a curing preservative), stabilizer sodium citrates, antioxidant sodium isoascorbate, and thickening agents guar gum (guarkernmehl) and locust bean gum (johannisbrotkernmehl).

Yes — Curry sauce by Wonnemeyer Feinkost is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA. These include dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), nitritpökelsalz containing sodium nitrite (a curing preservative), stabilizer sodium citrates, antioxidant sodium isoascorbate, and thickening agents guar gum (guarkernmehl) and locust bean gum (johannisbrotkernmehl). The presence of these industrial additives makes the curry sauce an ultra-processed food (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.
