No — Fresh Cheese is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, traditional cheesemaking ingredients.
This is a simple fresh cheese made from pasteurised milk, salt, a vegetarian coagulant, and citric acid. These are conventional cheesemaking ingredients, and citric acid is a basic acidity regulator rather than an ultra-processed additive. No emulsifiers, flavourings, refined industrial syrups, hydrogenated oils, or other NOVA ultra-processing markers are present.

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.
