No — Soft cheese by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This soft cheese is made solely from milk, with no industrial additives, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or refined industrial sugars. Milk is a basic culinary ingredient and its use alone indicates a minimally processed dairy product rather than an ultra-processed formulation.
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.
