Yes — Extra Creamy Coleslaw by Coop is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as UPF due to presence of stabilisers (guar gum, pectin, xanthan gum), preservative (potassium sorbate), and processed ingredients like maize starch, which are industrial additives/formulations 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.
