Yes — Amarena Cherry Goat Cheese by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA. These include: huile de palme (palm oil, a highly refined oil), sirop de sucre inverti (inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar), stabilisant E464 (a cellulose-based emulsifier/thickener), gomme xanthane (xanthan gum, a thickener), émulsifiant E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), as well as other industrial additives such as glycérol (humectant). The presence of these industrial formulations and additives classifies the product as ultra-processed (UPF).
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.
