Yes — Soy original is ultra-processed.
The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including maltodextrin (an industrially produced refined carbohydrate used as a bulking agent), gellan gum (an industrial stabiliser/thickener), and natural flavouring (an industrial flavor additive). Presence of any of these makes the overall product ultra-processed. Other ingredients like water, soybeans, apple extract, sea salt, calcium carbonate and added vitamins do not change the UPF classification.
Other plant-based dairy Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Soy original by Vemondo is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including maltodextrin (an industrially produced refined carbohydrate used as a bulking agent), gellan gum (an industrial stabiliser/thickener), and natural flavouring (an industrial flavor additive). Presence of any of these makes the overall product ultra-processed. Other ingredients like water, soybeans, apple extract, sea salt, calcium carbonate and added vitamins do not change the UPF classification.
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.
