Yes — Coconut milk is ultra-processed.
The coconut milk contains guar gum used as a stabiliser, which is an industrially extracted additive. The presence of this ultra-processed stabiliser makes the overall product ultra-processed according to NOVA, even though the main ingredients (coconut extract and water) are simple foods.
Other plant-based dairy Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Coconut milk by Tiger Tiger is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The coconut milk contains guar gum used as a stabiliser, which is an industrially extracted additive. The presence of this ultra-processed stabiliser makes the overall product ultra-processed according to NOVA, even though the main ingredients (coconut extract and water) are simple foods.
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.
