You’re in the food industry, you should know what the definition of food processing.

Yep. It's modifying the original. Apples? Not processed, until washed, waxed and shipped. Honey? Always processed to get rid of the larva, unless it's just a little bit to be eaten right away.

If sold in the US, it is generally pasturized as well.

Neat thing, pasturization. Keeps folks alive.

Garum is also processed, but you might consider it natural. You might not eat it, though. Nuc maam is another name for it.
