No — Unsalted Butter by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient listed is unsalted butter, which is a basic single-ingredient food with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing agents. According to NOVA, this would not be 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.
