No — Kefir by Biotiful is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are pasteurised cow’s milk and live kefir cultures (bifidobacterium, lactobacillus strains). These are minimally processed and contain no industrial additives, isolated industrial sweeteners, flavourings, or emulsifiers, so this is not ultra-processed per NOVA.
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.
