Not Ultra-Processed

No — Classic Pizza Sauce is not ultra-processed.

The ingredient list consists mainly of whole or minimally processed ingredients: tomatoes (pulp, juice, paste), olive oil, sea salt, garlic, herbs, and spices. The only additive is citric acid, which is a basic food additive allowed under the guidelines and does not by itself make the product ultra-processed.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
