Scanned 9 times by Nomi users

No — Gluten free worcester sauce is not ultra-processed.

All ingredients are basic foods or traditional culinary ingredients (water, sugar, cane molasses, salt, vinegar, tamarind, lemon juice, herbs and spices). The “worcester sauce flavouring” is a mixture of these same traditional ingredients and does not list any industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavor enhancers, so it does not meet NOVA’s criteria for ultra-processed foods.

Common questions about Gluten free worcester sauce

Is Gluten free worcester sauce ultra-processed?

No — Gluten free worcester sauce is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). All ingredients are basic foods or traditional culinary ingredients (water, sugar, cane molasses, salt, vinegar, tamarind, lemon juice, herbs and spices). The “worcester sauce flavouring” is a mixture of these same traditional ingredients and does not list any industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavor enhancers, so it does not meet NOVA’s criteria for ultra-processed foods.

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?
