No — Tofu by Satono Yuki is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are water, soybeans, and a basic firming agent (E511 - magnesium chloride). There are no industrial flavorings, refined syrups, emulsifiers, or other ultra-processed additives, so this is not UPF under NOVA.
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.
