Yes — Buttery Spread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is a margarine-style spread made primarily from water and vegetable oils. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains refined palm oil, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (an emulsifier), potassium sorbate (a preservative), lactic acid (an acidity regulator), flavouring, and carotenes (a colour additive). These industrial ingredients and additives meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The added vitamins A, D, and E do not contribute to the classification.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Buttery Spread by Co-op is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a margarine-style spread made primarily from water and vegetable oils. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains refined palm oil, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (an emulsifier), potassium sorbate (a preservative), lactic acid (an acidity regulator), flavouring, and carotenes (a colour additive). These industrial ingredients and additives meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The added vitamins A, D, and E do not contribute to 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.
