Barcode 5000128793568

Yes — Curry is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This curry is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, an industrial flavor enhancer, and gelling agent (pectin), an extracted additive identified as contributing to UPF classification. The other ingredients are largely recognizable foods, spices, oils, and basic cooking ingredients, but these additives lead to the overall UPF classification.
