Yes — 4 cooked and honey roast ham is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains preservatives (sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite), which are industrial additives used for preservation and curing, making it ultra-processed 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.
