Yes — Cheese Dressing is ultra-processed.
An ultra-processed dressing, best enjoyed occasionally rather than daily.
This is a cheese-based dressing containing several ultra-processed ingredients: glucose syrup, yeast extract, flavouring, and xanthan gum. Glucose syrup is an industrially refined sugar; yeast extract is a flavor enhancer; flavouring is an industrial flavor additive; and xanthan gum is an extracted stabilizing thickener. These ingredients make the product ultra-processed under the NOVA classification. Other ingredients, such as rapeseed oil, vinegar, cheese, garlic, and spices, do not by themselves determine the classification.
Yes — Cheese Dressing is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food).

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.
