Yes — Light fat spread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains sustainable palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil, as well as natural flavouring and natural colour (carotenes), which are extracted or isolated industrial additives. Lactic acid is also a pre-identified UPF ingredient under the applicable classification guidance. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation beyond simple culinary processing.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
