Yes — Bertolli light is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed: an industrially formulated spread for occasional use.
Bertolli Light is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: modified corn starch, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and lecithin as emulsifiers, potassium sorbate as a preservative, natural flavouring, and carotenes as a colour. Palm oil is also a highly processed refined oil. These ingredients indicate an industrially formulated spread rather than a minimally processed culinary fat.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Bertolli light by Bertolli is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Bertolli Light is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: modified corn starch, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and lecithin as emulsifiers, potassium sorbate as a preservative, natural flavouring, and carotenes as a colour. Palm oil is also a highly processed refined oil. These ingredients indicate an industrially formulated spread rather than a minimally processed culinary fat.
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.
