No — Peeled new potatoes is not ultra-processed.
The main ingredients are new potatoes and water. The additional components, calcium chloride (a firming agent) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C as an antioxidant), are common simple food additives used for texture and preventing discoloration; under these instructions, such basic additives do not by themselves make a food ultra-processed. The rest of the text string appears to be label/safety/recycling/careline text accidentally captured as ingredients, not actual ingredients. Therefore this is not classified as an ultra-processed food according to the provided NOVA-based criteria.

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.
