No — Soured cream is not ultra-processed.
This soured cream contains only pasteurised soured cream, with no industrially refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, flavour enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilisers, thickeners, or other cosmetic additives. Pasteurisation is a basic food safety process and does not make it ultra-processed according to NOVA, so this would not be classified as an ultra-processed food.

No — Soured cream by Sainsburys is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This soured cream contains only pasteurised soured cream, with no industrially refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, flavour enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilisers, thickeners, or other cosmetic additives. Pasteurisation is a basic food safety process and does not make it ultra-processed according to NOVA, so 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.
