Yes — Fat free vanilla yogurt is ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains modified maize starch, which is a pre-identified UPF ingredient, as well as several other ultra-processed additives such as sugar syrup (an industrially processed refined sugar syrup), stabilisers (pectin, guar gum), and unspecified flavouring. These industrial ingredients and additives go beyond basic culinary processing, so under NOVA this yogurt is UPF.
