No — Lighter spreadable is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, familiar ingredients.
Lighter Spreadable is not ultra-processed under the NOVA criteria used here. It consists primarily of butter, water, rapeseed oil, buttermilk, salt, and beta-carotene colour. These are basic culinary ingredients or a simple colouring derived from a natural pigment, with no artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, or hydrogenated oils identified. The product is a processed fat spread, but it does not contain ingredients that qualify it as ultra-processed.

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.
