No — Feta Cheese by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredient list is valid and contains only feta cheese (sheep and goat's milk), which is a traditional cheese made from milk, cultures, rennet, and salt, without industrial additives, refined syrups, or cosmetic processing aids. This fits NOVA group 3 (processed food) but not ultra-processed (group 4).
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.
