No — Lighter soft cheese by By Sainsbury's is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a simple dairy product made from cows' milk without industrial additives, flavorings, or refined industrial sweeteners, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
