I think "ultra-processed" is code for "food with all the fiber ripped out, and lots of added sugar and/or salt".
The latter is more obviously bad, and also very actionable for consumers.
Also, since I left "lots of artificial stuff" out of my definition, I intentionally included a broad range of "healthy organic snacks" that are actually terrible for you. It's probably best to avoid artificial crap in your food, but that should be(?) obvious.
Anyway, regarding tofu, it was hard to find a nutrition label, but this story has a bunch of them in a picture at the top: https://sporked.com/article/best-tofu/ https://sporked.com/article/best-tofu/
They all have no salt, high fiber (vs. carbs), high protein and no sugar.
Also, they all have one ingredient (fermented soybeans) and a few preservatives(?)
