Yes — Ramona's Heavenly Houmous is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrial additives.
This hummus is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch, an industrially modified thickener and a pre-identified UPF ingredient. Potassium sorbate is also an industrial preservative. The chickpeas, rapeseed oil, tahini, salt, citric acid, garlic powder, and spices are not individually sufficient to make it UPF.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Ramona's Heavenly Houmous by Ramona's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This hummus is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch, an industrially modified thickener and a pre-identified UPF ingredient. Potassium sorbate is also an industrial preservative. The chickpeas, rapeseed oil, tahini, salt, citric acid, garlic powder, and spices are not individually sufficient to make it UPF.
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.
