Scanned 35 times by Nomi users

Yes — Tesco Clementine Or Sweet Easy Peeler Pack 600G is ultra-processed.

The product contains clementines but also several industrial additives on the peel: waxes E914, E904, and E903, along with post-harvest fungicidal treatments (imazalil, thiabendazole, pyrimethanil). These are industrial formulations used for preservation and appearance rather than basic culinary ingredients, so under NOVA this makes the product ultra-processed.
