Yes — Mini Mince Pies is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. These include glucose-fructose syrup (an industrially processed sugar syrup), gelling agent pectin (isolated additive), preservative acetic acid, humectant glycerol, antioxidant ascorbic acid, raising agents (E450, sodium bicarbonate) used in a processed context, and especially the pre-identified UPF ingredients orange oil and dextrose. The presence of these industrial formulations and additives makes the overall product UPF according to NOVA.

Yes — Mini Mince Pies by M&S Collection is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. These include glucose-fructose syrup (an industrially processed sugar syrup), gelling agent pectin (isolated additive), preservative acetic acid, humectant glycerol, antioxidant ascorbic acid, raising agents (E450, sodium bicarbonate) used in a processed context, and especially the pre-identified UPF ingredients orange oil and dextrose. The presence of these industrial formulations and additives makes the overall product UPF according to 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.
