Yes — Plant Based Philadelphia With Almond & Oat is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains stabiliser (locust bean gum), which is an added industrial thickener/stabiliser, placing it in NOVA Group 4. The rest of the core ingredients (water, coconut oil, almond protein, oat flour, salt, vegan cultures) are not ultra-processed on their own, but the presence of the added stabiliser is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
Other plant-based dairy Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Plant Based Philadelphia With Almond & Oat by Philadelphia is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains stabiliser (locust bean gum), which is an added industrial thickener/stabiliser, placing it in NOVA Group 4.

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.
