No — LOW FAT COTTAGE CHEESE is not ultra-processed.
A simple dairy food suitable for everyday eating.
Low-fat cottage cheese is not ultra-processed. It consists primarily of dairy ingredients—cottage cheese, crème fraîche, and cream—with salt. Potassium sorbate is a preservative, but it is not an industrial formulation or additive that, by itself, makes this product ultra-processed under the specified criteria. Overall, this is a conventionally processed dairy food rather than an ultra-processed product.

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.
