Yes — Turkish style garlic sauce is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains several industrial additives and formulations: modified starch (industrially processed thickening agent), whey powder (isolated dairy fraction), thickener (xanthan gum, guar gum – industrial hydrocolloids), and natural flavouring (an added flavouring compound). The presence of these additives places the product in the ultra-processed category according to NOVA.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Turkish style garlic sauce by Heinz is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains several industrial additives and formulations: modified starch (industrially processed thickening agent), whey powder (isolated dairy fraction), thickener (xanthan gum, guar gum – industrial hydrocolloids), and natural flavouring (an added flavouring compound). The presence of these additives places the product in the ultra-processed category according to NOVA.
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.
