Question
How can I make this sentence present tense? Or is it already present tense?
The problem I'm having is with the word "banished" which is past tense. And my teacher wants us to write in the present tense. I have the main verb present so does that make the whole sentence present tense?
They create food without banished ingredients.

Yes, the whole sentence is in present tense.
In this sentence, "banished" is a past participle (not a complete verb with a subject), which is being used as an adjective to modify "ingredients."
Frankly, though, I think the sentence would read better in one of these ways:
<i>They create food without illegal ingredients.
They create food without prohibited ingredients.</i>
