Yes — Light mayonnaise is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several NOVA UPF ingredients and additives, including modified maize starch (a pre-identified UPF ingredient), stabilisers (diphosphates, guar gum, xanthan gum), antioxidant additives (fatty acid esters of ascorbic acid, calcium disodium EDTA), and flavouring (mustard oil flavouring). These are industrial formulations and additives used to modify texture, stability, shelf-life, and flavour, which makes the product UPF according to NOVA.

Yes — Light mayonnaise 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 because it contains several NOVA UPF ingredients and additives, including modified maize starch (a pre-identified UPF ingredient), stabilisers (diphosphates, guar gum, xanthan gum), antioxidant additives (fatty acid esters of ascorbic acid, calcium disodium EDTA), and flavouring (mustard oil flavouring). These are industrial formulations and additives used to modify texture, stability, shelf-life, and flavour, which makes the product UPF according to NOVA.
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.
