Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Plain Yoghurt is ultra-processed.

Not ideal for everyday use because several industrial additives are included.

This is a fermented soy product made primarily from soybeans and water, with calcium citrate, sodium citrates, citric acid, pectin, sea salt, vitamins, and yogurt cultures. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, an industrial antioxidant extract rich in tocopherols, and fatty acid esters of ascorbic acid. These extracted or formulated additives indicate industrial processing, even though pectin, citric acid, mineral fortification, and vitamins alone would not make it ultra-processed.
