Yes — Reduced Fat Crème Fraîche is ultra-processed.
The product contains pectins, which is a gelling/stabilizing agent and therefore an industrial additive according to NOVA. Presence of such additives makes the food ultra-processed. The other ingredients (crème fraîche, tapioca starch, sugar) are not ultra-processed on their own, but the inclusion of pectins is sufficient to classify the final product as UPF.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Reduced Fat Crème Fraîche by Dairy Manor is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains pectins, which is a gelling/stabilizing agent and therefore an industrial additive according to NOVA. Presence of such additives makes the food ultra-processed. The other ingredients (crème fraîche, tapioca starch, sugar) are not ultra-processed on their own, but the inclusion of pectins is sufficient to classify the final product as UPF.
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.
