Yes — Vanilla yogurt is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as UPF because it contains modified corn starch, which is a pre-identified ultra-processed ingredient. It also includes other ultra-processed elements typical of industrial formulations, such as natural flavouring, thickeners (fruit pectin, guar gum), and multiple extracts used as additives rather than basic ingredients.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
