Yes — Medium curry powder by Stonemill,Aldi is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This curry powder is classified as ultra-processed because it contains maltodextrin, an industrially processed refined carbohydrate and a pre-identified UPF ingredient. The spices, salt, and mustard flour are not the factors driving the 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.
