Yes — Bouchées au piment doux is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product contains guar gum, an extracted thickening additive used to modify texture. Under the stated NOVA criteria, extracted or isolated additives such as thickeners classify the product as ultra-processed. The other ingredients are primarily tempeh, sunflower oil, water, sugar, spices, vinegar, cornstarch, citric acid, garlic, and ginger, which do not independently trigger the UPF classification here.
Other meat alternatives Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Bouchées au piment doux by Tiba Tempeh is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product contains guar gum, an extracted thickening additive used to modify texture. Under the stated NOVA criteria, extracted or isolated additives such as thickeners classify the product as ultra-processed. The other ingredients are primarily tempeh, sunflower oil, water, sugar, spices, vinegar, cornstarch, citric acid, garlic, and ginger, which do not independently trigger the UPF classification here.
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.
