No — Kefir by Biotiful is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a fermented dairy drink made from pasteurised cow’s milk and live kefir cultures. Fermentation and pasteurisation are standard food-processing methods, and the listed bacterial cultures are not industrial-formulation additives that make a product ultra-processed. It contains no artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, stabilisers, refined oils, or industrial syrups.
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.
