Yes — Real Dairy Cream UHT is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include industrial additives and formulations beyond basic culinary ingredients: mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (emulsifier), carrageenan (stabiliser), and unspecified flavouring. These are processed additives used to modify texture, stability, and taste, which meets the NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods, even though the base is cream and sugar.
