Yes — Feta (plant based) is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed due to presence of industrial additives and formulations including glucono-delta-lactone (E575, an acidity regulator) and natural flavors, as well as use of refined coconut oil and starch in a plant-based cheese analogue which is a ready-to-eat processed formulation.

Yes — Feta (plant based) by Violife is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed due to presence of industrial additives and formulations including glucono-delta-lactone (E575, an acidity regulator) and natural flavors, as well as use of refined coconut oil and starch in a plant-based cheese analogue which is a ready-to-eat processed formulation.
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.
