Yes — proactiv is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, though it may support cholesterol management.
ProActiv is classified as ultra-processed because it contains lecithin, an industrial emulsifier, and natural flavourings, which are extracted or formulated additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods. The plant sterol esters are also isolated industrial ingredients rather than basic culinary components. The rapeseed, coconut, and sunflower oils, salt, water, and vitamins alone would not make it ultra-processed.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — proactiv by Flora proactiv is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). ProActiv is classified as ultra-processed because it contains lecithin, an industrial emulsifier, and natural flavourings, which are extracted or formulated additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods. The plant sterol esters are also isolated industrial ingredients rather than basic culinary components. The rapeseed, coconut, and sunflower oils, salt, water, and vitamins alone would not make it ultra-processed.
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.
