No — Cheese is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, minimally processed ingredients.
This appears to be cheese made from mild cheddar cheese and potato starch. Carotenes are a basic colouring compound and do not make the product ultra-processed under the stated criteria. Potato starch is a basic extracted starch, and no industrially formulated additives, refined oils, isolated sugars, flavourings, emulsifiers, or stabilizers are present.

No — Cheese by Spar is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be cheese made from mild cheddar cheese and potato starch. Carotenes are a basic colouring compound and do not make the product ultra-processed under the stated criteria. Potato starch is a basic extracted starch, and no industrially formulated additives, refined oils, isolated sugars, flavourings, emulsifiers, or stabilizers are present.
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.
