Yes — Vanilla Gut-Loving Prebiotic* Yoghurt is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, which is an industrially produced flavor additive and considered a UPF ingredient in the NOVA system. Other ingredients (yoghurt, live cultures, chicory root fibre, vanilla extract) are not UPF, but the presence of natural flavouring is sufficient to classify the whole product as UPF.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
