Yes — ProActiv Olive Oil Spread is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday use because it contains industrial flavouring additives.
This olive oil spread is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, which are industrial flavouring additives. It also contains lecithin as an emulsifier and refined oils, including refined olive oil and coconut oil; however, the decisive UPF ingredient is natural flavourings. The added vitamins A and D and plant sterol esters do not change the classification.

This olive oil spread is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, which are industrial flavouring additives. It also contains lecithin as an emulsifier and refined oils, including refined olive oil and coconut oil; however, the decisive UPF ingredient is natural flavourings. The added vitamins A and D and plant sterol esters do not change 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.
