No — Mature Cheddar by Duchy Organic is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains cheddar cheese (milk) and salt only. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, refined syrups, flavor enhancers, or emulsifiers, so it is not classified as ultra-processed 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.
