Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Vanilla Coconut Yoghurt is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural vanilla flavouring, which is an industrial flavouring additive, and fruit pectin, an extracted gelling agent. These ingredients place it in the NOVA ultra-processed category, even though the base (coconut milk, coconut water, cultures) is otherwise minimally processed.
