No — Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are mainly whole or minimally processed foods: sun-dried tomatoes, oils, basil, tofu (water, soy), tomato pulp, cashew nuts, vinegar, salt, beetroot. Citric acid and ascorbic acid are basic food additives used as preservatives/antioxidants and are not enough to make the product ultra-processed under the given rules. There are no industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, thickeners, or highly processed syrups/oils like palm fruit oil.

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.
