Common questions about Fiery Goan Curry

Is Fiery Goan Curry ultra-processed?

No — Fiery Goan Curry by The Spice Tailor is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The curry sauce contains only basic culinary ingredients (vegetables, tomato paste, oil, spices, vinegar, tamarind, sugar, and salt) with no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, or processing aids typical of ultra-processed foods, so it does not meet NOVA 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?
