Not a great choice for everyday.
This cooking paste is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring and paprika extract, which are extracted or formulated flavouring additives associated with industrial processing. These additives are the factors leading to the UPF classification. The tomatoes, vegetables, herbs, spices, honey, sugar, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and citric acid are not the reason for this classification.
