No — Goan Curry Mix is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are mostly dried or ground whole foods (dehydrated onion, spices, desiccated coconut, tamarind) plus salt and a basic culinary oil. The only additive is acetic acid used as an acidity regulator, which is a simple traditional acid (like vinegar) and not an ultra-processing marker by itself. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavourings, or refined industrial syrups, so under the provided rules this would not be classified as an ultra-processed food.

No — Goan Curry Mix by Mighty Spice is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are mostly dried or ground whole foods (dehydrated onion, spices, desiccated coconut, tamarind) plus salt and a basic culinary oil. The only additive is acetic acid used as an acidity regulator, which is a simple traditional acid (like vinegar) and not an ultra-processing marker by itself. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavourings, or refined industrial syrups, so under the provided rules this would not be classified as an ultra-processed food.
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.
