Yes — Tartare is ultra-processed.

This tartare sauce is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including modified maize starch (a processed thickener), glucose-fructose syrup (an industrially processed sugar syrup), xanthan gum (a stabiliser), potassium sorbate (a preservative), and acetic acid used as an acidity regulator. These additives and processed ingredients place the product in the ultra-processed category under the NOVA system.
