Common questions about Chili Sauce

Is Chili Sauce ultra-processed?

No — Chili Sauce is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic culinary items (chili, garlic, oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, spices) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or cosmetic processing agents, so this fits NOVA group 3 (processed) but not ultra-processed.

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?
