No — Chilli Pesto is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with mostly simple, recognizable ingredients.
Chilli Pesto is not ultra-processed under the stated NOVA criteria. It consists mainly of recognizable foods and basic culinary ingredients, including peppers, tomato paste, sunflower oil, herbs, almonds, sugar, cheese, garlic, spices, and salt. Lactic acid is a basic acidity regulator, and sulphur dioxide (sulphites) is a preservative antioxidant; these additives do not, by themselves, indicate an industrial formulation under the specified rules. No artificial flavouring, emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, refined syrup, or highly processed oil is present.

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.
