Yes — Red Curry Sauce is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains industrial additives.
This is a coconut-based red curry sauce. It is classified as ultra-processed because the red curry paste contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer, and paprika extract, an isolated color additive. These industrial additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and trigger the UPF classification. The coconut milk, spices, sugar, soybean oil, lactic acid, and citric acid do not independently determine the classification.
Yes — Red Curry Sauce is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a coconut-based red curry sauce. It is classified as ultra-processed because the red curry paste contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer, and paprika extract, an isolated color additive.

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.
