No — Goya Frozen White Corn Arepas by Goya is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a minimally processed frozen corn product made primarily from genetically modified white corn and water. Sorbic acid is a preservative and citric acid is an acidulant; these basic preservation and acidity-control additives do not indicate an industrial formulation under the stated criteria. The heating directions and packaging information do not affect the classification.
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.
