Yes — Devon Custard is ultra-processed.
The custard contains modified starch, sustainable palm oil, and natural flavouring, all of which are industrially processed ingredients/additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods under NOVA. Refined palm oil is a highly processed fat, modified starch is a chemically/physically altered industrial starch, and natural flavouring is an isolated additive rather than a whole-food ingredient.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Devon Custard by Ambrosia is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The custard contains modified starch, sustainable palm oil, and natural flavouring, all of which are industrially processed ingredients/additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods under NOVA. Refined palm oil is a highly processed fat, modified starch is a chemically/physically altered industrial starch, and natural flavouring is an isolated additive rather than a whole-food ingredient.
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.
