Yes — Vitalite Dairy Free Spread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This vegetable fat spread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: E471 (mono- and diglycerides), sunflower lecithin (an emulsifier), potassium sorbate (a preservative), lactic acid (an industrial acidity regulator), and flavourings. It also contains palm oil, which is treated as a highly processed refined oil under the specified criteria. The added vitamins and minerals, salt, water, sunflower oil, and rapeseed oil do not independently make it ultra-processed, but the listed emulsifiers, preservative, acid, flavourings, and refined palm oil do.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Vitalite Dairy Free Spread by Vitalite- suitable for Vegan is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food).

It also contains palm oil, which is treated as a highly processed refined oil under the specified criteria.

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.
