Yes — Thai Green Curry Paste is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). It contains yeast extract, which is a pre-identified UPF ingredient, making the whole product UPF by definition. Other mostly culinary ingredients (vegetables, herbs, spices, basic sugar, oil, salt) and basic additives (cornflour, lactic acid, natural colors) do not change this classification, but yeast extract itself is an industrially processed flavor enhancer and places the product in the UPF category.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
