No — Thai Red Chicken Curry & Fragrant Rice is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are primarily minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients (rice, chicken, vegetables, herbs, spices, basic oils, sugar, lemon/lime juice, fish sauce, cornflour). The only additive-like ingredient is paprika extract used as a colour, which is a simple plant extract rather than an industrial ultra-processing marker. There are no artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, industrial syrups, flavor enhancers, or highly processed oils like palm fruit oil. Therefore it does not meet the NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

No — Thai Red Chicken Curry & Fragrant Rice by Charlie Bigham's is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are primarily minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients (rice, chicken, vegetables, herbs, spices, basic oils, sugar, lemon/lime juice, fish sauce, cornflour). The only additive-like ingredient is paprika extract used as a colour, which is a simple plant extract rather than an industrial ultra-processing marker. There are no artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, industrial syrups, flavor enhancers, or highly processed oils like palm fruit oil. Therefore it does not meet the NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
