It would be considered processed food, but not "ultra processed food". I've seen some people review to items like this as "minimally" processed food. Just like the tomatoes I canned yesterday out of my garden. Processed, but minimally so. It's still healthy food.Here we have different types of peanut butter. They sell 100% peanut butter too. This has no added sugar, salt, fat or anything else. I don’t have a clue wether that is processed food or not. .
