Yes — Green Goddess Dip is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains an industrial thickener.
This dip is ultra-processed because it contains rice starch, an industrially extracted and isolated starch used as a thickener. The product also contains added isolated ascorbic acid and citric acid, but these are basic antioxidants or acidity regulators and are not the main reason for the classification. Rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, dairy ingredients, herbs, avocado, lemon juice, salt, sugar, vinegar, eggs, and cornflour are not independently sufficient to classify it as ultra-processed.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Green Goddess Dip by Marks & Spencers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This dip is ultra-processed because it contains rice starch, an industrially extracted and isolated starch used as a thickener. The product also contains added isolated ascorbic acid and citric acid, but these are basic antioxidants or acidity regulators and are not the main reason for the classification. Rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, dairy ingredients, herbs, avocado, lemon juice, salt, sugar, vinegar, eggs, and cornflour are not independently sufficient to classify it as ultra-processed.
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.
