Yes — Original grated is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed (UPF) according to NOVA because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives beyond basic culinary components. Specifically: modified starch (an industrially processed thickener/texturizer), generic flavourings/aromas (industrial flavoring agents), and added color beta-carotene as a colorant. These additives classify the product as an ultra-processed food, even though some other ingredients like water, coconut oil, sea salt, and vitamin B12 are not UPF on their own.

Yes — Original grated by Violife is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed (UPF) according to NOVA because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives beyond basic culinary components. Specifically: modified starch (an industrially processed thickener/texturizer), generic flavourings/aromas (industrial flavoring agents), and added color beta-carotene as a colorant. These additives classify the product as an ultra-processed food, even though some other ingredients like water, coconut oil, sea salt, and vitamin B12 are not UPF on their own.
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.
