Yes — Chickpea and Tahini Chutney Dip is ultra-processed.
A tasty dip, but additives make it ultra-processed.
This is a chickpea and tahini dip containing mostly recognizable culinary ingredients. However, it is classified as ultra-processed because it contains cornflour as an industrially processed thickener and potassium sorbate as a preservative additive. These additives indicate an industrial formulation beyond simple home preparation. The sugars, vinegars, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, lemon juice concentrate, and tahini are not independently decisive under the specified criteria.

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.
