No — Coconut milk by Plenish is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This drink is made from water, coconut milk, rice, and sea salt. These are simple culinary ingredients without industrial formulations or additives that would qualify it 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.
