Yes — SUNFLOWER OIL COOKING SPRAY is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday use.
This is ultra-processed because it contains flavouring, which is an industrially used additive, as well as lecithins as an emulsifier, xanthan gum as a thickener, and potassium sorbate as a preservative. The spray format is also a formulated ready-to-use cooking product rather than plain sunflower oil. Citric acid is a basic acidity regulator and does not drive the classification.

Yes — SUNFLOWER OIL COOKING SPRAY by Solesta is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is ultra-processed because it contains flavouring, which is an industrially used additive, as well as lecithins as an emulsifier, xanthan gum as a thickener, and potassium sorbate as a preservative. The spray format is also a formulated ready-to-use cooking product rather than plain sunflower oil. Citric acid is a basic acidity regulator and does not drive 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.
