Yes — Clementines is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Clementines are minimally processed fruit, but E903 (carnauba wax) is a pre-identified UPF ingredient under the specified criteria and makes the product ultra-processed. E914 (oxidized polyethylene wax) is also an industrial surface-treatment additive, while imazalil and thiabendazole are post-harvest fungicides; these treatments do not make the fruit itself an industrial formulation, but E903 alone is sufficient for the UPF classification.

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.
