Yes — Flora is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and formulations, specifically: plant-based emulsifier (lecithin), which is an emulsifier, and natural flavourings, which are industrially produced flavoring agents. These ingredients place the product in the ultra-processed category according to the NOVA system, even though it also contains basic culinary fats and oils (rapeseed, sunflower, linseed, coconut fat) and added vitamins (vitamin A).
