Common questions about Tomato Curry Sauce

Is Tomato Curry Sauce ultra-processed?

No — Tomato Curry Sauce is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be a tomato-based curry sauce made only with whole or ground vegetables, herbs, spices, oil, water, and salt. There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers) or industrially refined syrups or extracts that would make it ultra-processed, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for an ultra-processed food.

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.
