No — White Miso is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list (water, soya beans, rice, salt) consists only of basic whole foods used in traditional fermentation, with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids typical of ultra-processed foods. This fits a minimally processed, traditionally fermented product rather than a UPF.

No — White Miso by Bart is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list (water, soya beans, rice, salt) consists only of basic whole foods used in traditional fermentation, with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids typical of ultra-processed foods. This fits a minimally processed, traditionally fermented product rather than a UPF.
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.
