Yes — Perinaise, Mild is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday; it contains several industrial additives.
This mayonnaise is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: xanthan gum and propylene glycol alginate as stabilisers, guar gum as a stabiliser, potassium sorbate as a preservative, and calcium disodium EDTA as an antioxidant/chelating agent. These additives contribute to the UPF classification. The product also contains a ready-to-eat processed mayonnaise and peri-peri sauce formulation, although the rapeseed oil, sugar, vinegar, eggs, spices, and common ingredients are not individually decisive.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Perinaise, Mild by Nandos is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This mayonnaise is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: xanthan gum and propylene glycol alginate as stabilisers, guar gum as a stabiliser, potassium sorbate as a preservative, and calcium disodium EDTA as an antioxidant/chelating agent. These additives contribute to the UPF classification. The product also contains a ready-to-eat processed mayonnaise and peri-peri sauce formulation, although the rapeseed oil, sugar, vinegar, eggs, spices, and common ingredients are not individually decisive.
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.
