Yes — Rich & creamy coconut milk by Amoy,Alifoods is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains additives used for industrial formulation, specifically carboxy methyl cellulose (a thickener) and polysorbate 60 (an emulsifier). These are characteristic UPF ingredients under the NOVA classification.
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.
