Yes — Beautifully Buttery Light is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients used for texture and shelf-life: modified maize starch (a chemically/physically modified starch), emulsifiers mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and polyricinoleate, as well as refined palm and palm kernel oils. These are typical markers of ultra-processed foods under the NOVA system.

Yes — Beautifully Buttery Light is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients used for texture and shelf-life: modified maize starch (a chemically/physically modified starch), emulsifiers mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and polyricinoleate, as well as refined palm and palm kernel oils. These are typical markers of ultra-processed foods under the NOVA system.
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.
