Yes — Pride coconut milk is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the additive guar gum, which is a stabiliser/thickener. According to NOVA, the presence of industrial additives such as emulsifiers, stabilisers, and thickeners (like guar gum) makes a product ultra-processed, even if the base ingredients (coconut extract and water) are otherwise simple.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
