No — English semi-skimmed milk is not ultra-processed.
The product contains only homogenized pasteurized semi-skimmed milk, which is a processed milk product but not an ultra-processed food according to the NOVA classification. Homogenization and pasteurization are standard processes to alter the fat content and safety of milk yet do not involve industrial formulations or additives that classify a product as ultra-processed.

The product contains only homogenized pasteurized semi-skimmed milk, which is a processed milk product but not an ultra-processed food according to the NOVA classification.

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.
