Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Plain Yoghurt is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: stabilizer (pectins), natural flavoring (natürliches Aroma), acidity regulators (sodium citrates, citric acid), antioxidant additives (tocopherol-rich extracts, ascorbyl fatty acid esters). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
