Yes — Milch Mandel ohne Zucker is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because the ingredient list includes industrial additives: stabilizer (locust bean gum / johannisbrotkernmehl), gelling agent gellan, and emulsifier lecithins. These extracted and industrially used additives fall under NOVA ultra-processed criteria, even though the base ingredients (water, almonds, salt) themselves are not UPF.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
