Yes — Thai Massaman Curry is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Thai Massaman Curry is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives: a stabilizer in the coconut milk, yeast extract used as a flavor enhancer, and antioxidant E306 (tocopherol extract). The ingredient entry "ma - cis" is unclear, but the identifiable additives are sufficient for the UPF classification. The coconut milk, spices, sugar, palm sugar, peanuts, paprika extract, and E306 themselves do not independently determine the classification; the stabilizer and yeast extract are the main reasons.

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.
