Yes — Seriously Spreadable Original is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives: emulsifying salts (E331, E452, E450), a thickener (pectin), and a preservative (potassium sorbate). Emulsifying salts and thickeners are used to modify texture and melting properties, and potassium sorbate is a chemical preservative, all of which place this cheese product in the ultra-processed category according to NOVA.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt 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.
