Yes — Coconut Milk is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This coconut milk is ultra-processed because it contains xanthan gum, a pre-identified UPF ingredient, as well as polysorbate 60, an industrial emulsifier. Guar gum is also an extracted thickening stabilizer used to create an industrial formulation. These additives go beyond the simple processing of coconut extract and water.
Other plant-based dairy Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

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.
