No — Original Creamy Soft Cheese by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cheese is made from a single basic ingredient, milk, without any industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, or flavorings. It is therefore not considered an ultra-processed food under NOVA; it fits as a minimally processed dairy product.
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.
