Yes — Luxury Bread Sauce is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and formulations. Specifically, “flavourings” (natural or artificial flavourings) are additives created through industrial processing and used to modify taste, which falls under NOVA ultra-processed criteria. The rest of the ingredients (breadcrumbs from wheat, onion powder, cream powder, rapeseed oil, salt, whey powder, white pepper, ground cloves) are processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of flavourings is sufficient to make the overall product UPF.

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