Yes — Lighter crème fraîche by Sainsbury’s is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains additives used as thickeners and stabilisers (tapioca starch as a thickener and pectin as a stabiliser), which are industrially extracted and added for texture, not basic culinary use.
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.
