Yes — Goldfish Chinese Curry Sauce is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This Chinese Curry Sauce Concentrate is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil identified as a UPF ingredient. It also contains monosodium glutamate (E621), a flavor enhancer and industrial additive associated with ultra-processed formulations. The fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, spices, salt, coconut cream, and vegetable powders do not independently determine the classification.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Goldfish Chinese Curry Sauce by Goldfish Brand is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This Chinese Curry Sauce Concentrate is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil identified as a UPF ingredient. It also contains monosodium glutamate (E621), a flavor enhancer and industrial additive associated with ultra-processed formulations. The fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, spices, salt, coconut cream, and vegetable powders 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.
