No — Red Thai Chicken Curry is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are whole foods and basic culinary ingredients (chicken, coconut milk, curry paste, vegetables, herbs, basic oil, sugar, salt). No industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavourings, or other markers of ultra-processing are present, so this is not classified as UPF under NOVA.
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.
