No — kefir PROTEIN original by Biotiful gut health is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This kefir-style dairy product contains only pasteurised fat-free quark (milk) fermented with specific kefir cultures (Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides). It does not contain industrial additives, refined industrial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other cosmetic processing ingredients, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under 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.
