No — Cream Cheese by Paysan Breton is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are just cheese (milk) and sea salt. These are basic, minimally processed foods with no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavourings, or other ultra-processed components, so this is not an ultra-processed product by 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.
