Yes — Real mayonnaise is ultra-processed.
The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients according to NOVA, including flavourings, stabiliser (unspecified industrial additive), and xanthan gum (a pre-identified UPF ingredient). These additives indicate it is an industrial formulation beyond basic culinary ingredients, so it must be classified as ultra-processed (UPF).
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Real mayonnaise by Bramwells is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients according to NOVA, including flavourings, stabiliser (unspecified industrial additive), and xanthan gum (a pre-identified UPF ingredient). These additives indicate it is an industrial formulation beyond basic culinary ingredients, so it must be classified as ultra-processed (UPF).
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.
