Yes — Creamy oat by Oatly is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as UPF because it contains industrial additives and processing aids: emulsifier (E472e) and stabiliser (xanthan gum). These extracted, isolated additives are hallmarks of ultra-processed foods under NOVA.
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.
