No — Mozzarella is not ultra-processed.
The product contains mozzarella cheese and potato starch as an anti-caking agent. Potato starch is a basic ingredient and common additive, not an indicator of industrial ultra-processing by NOVA. There are no artificial sweeteners, refined industrial syrups, emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavourings, or other industrial formulations, so it is not classified as an ultra-processed food.

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.
