No — Burrata is not ultra-processed.

This burrata contains only basic dairy ingredients—milk, cream, salt, rennet, and cheese cultures—plus simple acidity regulation and preservation. Lactic acid is a common acidity regulator that is also naturally produced during fermentation, and its use here is consistent with traditional cheesemaking rather than industrial reformulation. Sorbic acid is a straightforward preservative used in small amounts to inhibit mold and yeast, but it does not change the food into an industrial formulation with multiple cosmetic additives. Overall, the product remains essentially a fresh cheese made from minimally processed dairy components, not an ultra-processed formulation.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
