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.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Vanilla yogurt by Onken is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). 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.
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.
