No — Salade chou,pomme,céleri by M&S is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic foods and culinary ingredients only (cabbage, apple, celery, raisins, rapeseed oil, sour cream, nuts, lemon juice, pasteurized egg/egg yolk, corn starch, vinegar, sugar, salt, spices, mustard flour/bran). There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, industrial syrups, maltodextrin, flavorings, or refined palm oil). Pasteurization and sour cream fermentation are standard culinary/industrial processes and do not by themselves make a food ultra-processed under NOVA.
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.
