Lactic acid (E270)
No. Lactic acid (E270) is not one of the markers Open Food Facts uses to classify a food as processed or ultra-processed, so on its own it doesn't raise a product's NOVA group.
What it is
Lactic acid is the acid made by fermentation in yoghurt and sauerkraut. As an additive it regulates acidity and helps preserve.
A product that contains it can still be ultra-processed for other reasons: 1,259 of the 1,470 products here that contain lactic acid (E270) (86%) are in group 4 because of other ingredients or additives.
Where it turns up
Lactic acid (E270) appears in 1,470 of the 40,000 products on this site (4%).
