Yes — Kefir Yogurt is ultra-processed.
The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including natural flavouring (a pre-identified UPF ingredient), pectin used as a stabiliser, and tapioca starch as a refined thickener. These industrially processed additives move the product into the ultra-processed (UPF) category, even though the base is fermented milk with cultures and fruit.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Kefir Yogurt by Biotiful is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including natural flavouring (a pre-identified UPF ingredient), pectin used as a stabiliser, and tapioca starch as a refined thickener. These industrially processed additives move the product into the ultra-processed (UPF) category, even though the base is fermented milk with cultures and fruit.
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.
