Yes — Almond Unsweeteened is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives used as stabilisers and emulsifiers: locust bean gum, gellan gum, and rapeseed lecithin. These are extracted/processed ingredients added to modify texture and stability, which fits NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods. The presence of added vitamins and minerals for fortification does not itself make a product UPF, but the texture-modifying additives do.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives used as stabilisers and emulsifiers: locust bean gum, gellan gum, and rapeseed lecithin. These are extracted/processed ingredients added to modify texture and stability, which fits NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods. The presence of added vitamins and minerals for fortification does not itself make a product UPF, but the texture-modifying additives do.
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.
