Yes — High Protein Spaghetti by M&S Food is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list includes pea protein isolate, which is an extracted, isolated protein ingredient produced through industrial processing. According to the criteria, extracted/isolated additives and protein isolates make the product ultra-processed (UPF), even though the other ingredients (pea flour, durum wheat semolina) are minimally processed staples.
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.
