Yes — Roasted Mushroom Pate is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to its flavor-enhancing additive.
This roasted mushroom pâté is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer made from extracted ingredients. It also contains tapioca starch and potato flakes, which are processed ingredients used to modify texture, though the yeast extract is the clearest UPF indicator. The remaining ingredients are largely recognizable foods and basic culinary ingredients, including mushrooms, dairy, olive and rapeseed oils, vegetables, herbs, spices, and salt.
Other meat & poultry Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Roasted Mushroom Pate by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This roasted mushroom pâté is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a flavor enhancer made from extracted ingredients. It also contains tapioca starch and potato flakes, which are processed ingredients used to modify texture, though the yeast extract is the clearest UPF indicator. The remaining ingredients are largely recognizable foods and basic culinary ingredients, including mushrooms, dairy, olive and rapeseed oils, vegetables, herbs, spices, and salt.
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.
