Yes — Butter Chicken 2 Step Cooking Sauce is ultra-processed.

Not ideal for everyday use because it contains several industrial additives.

This is an ultra-processed product because it contains several industrial additives and refined ingredients: modified maize starch, which is a modified thickener; dextrose, an industrially processed isolated sugar; natural flavourings, which are extracted or formulated flavour additives; and paprika extract used as a colour. The ready-to-use cooking sauce formulation also indicates substantial industrial processing. Other ingredients, such as cream, tomato, onion, butter, rapeseed oil, spices, and citric or lactic acid, do not independently determine the classification.
