No — Coconut Oil is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains a single basic culinary ingredient: coconut oil. Basic single-ingredient foods and common culinary oils are not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA when no additional additives or industrial formulations are present.
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.
