Yes — Soya Original is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of additives and industrial ingredients including: generic flavoring (an added flavouring agent), acidity regulators (potassium phosphates), and stabilizer (gellan gum). These extracted and industrially used additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients according to NOVA.
