Yes — Loyd Grossman Korma Sauce is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The product contains 'amidon de maïs modifié' (modified corn starch), which is a processed food additive and has been pre-identified as a UPF ingredient under NOVA. Therefore, the product must be classified as ultra-processed. Other ingredients are mostly culinary, but the presence of modified starch is sufficient to classify it as UPF.
