Yes — Creamy Garlic Sauce is ultra-processed.
This creamy garlic sauce is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives such as coloring and preservatives, which are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods. The rest of the ingredients (water, sugar, sunflower oil, spices, paprika, egg yolk, mustard, cream, black pepper, salt, sour cream, garlic, roasted garlic) are basic culinary ingredients and would not on their own make the product ultra-processed, but the presence of these additives does.

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.
