No — kefir by Krasnystaw is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list includes only milk, milk proteins, and live bacterial cultures/kefir grains. There are no industrial additives, flavorings, or refined industrial sugars, so under NOVA this would not be considered ultra-processed.
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.
