Yes — Pizza Sauce Aromatica is ultra-processed.
The sauce contains 'naturlig aroma' (natural flavouring), which is an industrially produced flavor additive. According to the NOVA system and the given rules, the presence of such flavoring agents makes the product ultra-processed, even though the other ingredients (tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, onion) are minimally processed foods or basic ingredients.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
