Yes — Hafermilch is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the additive säureregulator (dikaliumphosphat), which is an industrial acidity regulator. The presence of such food additives places it in the UPF category according to NOVA. Other ingredients like rapeseed oil, vitamins, and minerals are acceptable as basic culinary ingredients or fortification and do not change the classification.
