Yes — Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains stabiliser (xanthan gum), an industrial thickening additive. The sauce also includes modified starch, which is an extracted and modified ingredient associated with industrial formulation. Other ingredients, such as tomatoes, onion, rapeseed oil, sugar, garlic, citric acid, milk, egg yolk, and pepper, do not by themselves make the product ultra-processed.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake by Homepride is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains stabiliser (xanthan gum), an industrial thickening additive. The sauce also includes modified starch, which is an extracted and modified ingredient associated with industrial formulation. Other ingredients, such as tomatoes, onion, rapeseed oil, sugar, garlic, citric acid, milk, egg yolk, and pepper, do not by themselves make the product ultra-processed.
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.
