Yes — Pizza Sauce is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday because it contains an industrial thickener.
This is a tomato-based sauce made primarily from tomato puree and chopped tomatoes, with herbs, spices, onion powder, rapeseed oil, sugar, and standard acidity regulators. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch, an industrially modified additive identified as a UPF ingredient. The other listed ingredients do not independently require a UPF classification.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Pizza Sauce by Cucina is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a tomato-based sauce made primarily from tomato puree and chopped tomatoes, with herbs, spices, onion powder, rapeseed oil, sugar, and standard acidity regulators. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch, an industrially modified additive identified as a UPF ingredient. The other listed ingredients do not independently require a UPF classification.
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.
