Yes — satay stir fry sauce is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This sauce is ultra-processed because it contains glucose-fructose syrup, modified maize starch, and acidity regulator (lactic acid), which are industrially processed ingredients or additives under the NOVA classification guidance. The glucose-fructose syrup is an industrially refined sugar, modified maize starch is a processed starch, and lactic acid is an extracted or synthesized acidity regulator. The other ingredients, such as sugar, rapeseed oil, peanuts, spices, and citric acid, do not independently determine the classification.

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.
