No — Mascarpone by Sainsburys is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are mascarpone cheese made from cream, milk, and lactic acid as an acidity regulator. These are basic dairy ingredients and a simple acidity regulator; there are no industrial formulations, artificial additives, or processed isolates beyond traditional processing, so it is not classified as ultra-processed according to NOVA.
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.
