Yes — REDUCED FAT SOFT CHEESE is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed due to added stabilisers and texture-modifying additives.
Reduced-fat soft cheese is classified as ultra-processed because it contains guar gum, an industrial stabiliser and pre-identified UPF ingredient. Carrageenan and citrus fibre are also extracted additives used to modify texture, contributing to industrial formulation. Salt and milk-based cheese are not the factors driving the classification.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — REDUCED FAT SOFT CHEESE by EMPORIUM is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Reduced-fat soft cheese is classified as ultra-processed because it contains guar gum, an industrial stabiliser and pre-identified UPF ingredient. Carrageenan and citrus fibre are also extracted additives used to modify texture, contributing to industrial formulation. Salt and milk-based cheese are not the factors driving the 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.
