No — Butter by Anchor is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and contains only one basic ingredient: milk (100%). This is a minimally processed dairy product with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or ultra-processed ingredients, 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.
