Yes — Dried Active Yeast by Allinson's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains sorbitan monostearate, an emulsifier/stabilizer that is an industrial additive, which makes the product ultra-processed according to NOVA. The presence of any such additive is sufficient for UPF 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.
