No — coconut oil by laila is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and contains only one basic culinary ingredient: 100% coconut oil. Single-ingredient oils are considered minimally processed, not ultra-processed, under NOVA, and there are no additives, refined industrial sweeteners, or processing aids listed.
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.
