Common questions about Butter Chicken Curry Sauce

Is Butter Chicken Curry Sauce ultra-processed?

No — Butter Chicken Curry Sauce is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is composed entirely of basic culinary ingredients (vegetables, oil, spices, salt, lemon juice). There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra-processing, so this would not be classified as an ultra-processed food under NOVA.

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?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
