Yes — Crispy Fried Onions by Batts, Kania is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, which is a highly processed refined oil considered an industrial ingredient in the NOVA system.
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.
