Yes — Mélange de noix et pistaches is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial additives and processed ingredients such as maltodextrin, mushroom powder with maltodextrin, smoked maltodextrin with smoke flavour, natural flavouring, vegetable protein hydrolysate, anti-caking agents (potassium phosphates, silicon dioxide), and colouring (paprika extract). These extracted and modified additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

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.
