No — Kalamata Olives is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list consists of olives, water, extra virgin olive oil, salt, red wine vinegar, and lactic acid as an acidity regulator. These are basic or traditionally used ingredients for preserving olives. Lactic acid is a simple, common food acidulant and not in itself an indicator of ultra-processing under the given rules. There are no industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, refined syrups, or other ultra-processed additives listed, so this product is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF) by the specified criteria.

The ingredient list consists of olives, water, extra virgin olive oil, salt, red wine vinegar, and lactic acid as an acidity regulator.

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.
