Yes — Frylight delicate Butter flavour cooking Spray is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). It contains several industrial additives: emulsifier lecithin, natural flavourings, and the thickener xanthan gum (explicitly pre-identified as a UPF ingredient). These extracted and industrially formulated additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients according to NOVA, so the product is UPF even though it also includes simple ingredients like rapeseed oil, water, and alcohol.
