Yes — Herb Dressing is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This appears to be a herb-based salad dressing. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains basil extract and stabiliser: xanthan gum, which are pre-identified UPF ingredients. Xanthan gum is an industrial stabiliser, and basil extract is an extracted additive considered UPF under the stated criteria. The product also contains spinach extract, another extracted ingredient, but the decisive factors are basil extract and xanthan gum.

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.
