Yes — Lemon Curd Bread is ultra-processed.
The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients according to NOVA. These include modified starch (an industrially processed thickener), glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar syrup), and natural flavouring components like lemon oil and Sicilian lemon oil used as additives. Therefore it must be classified as UPF. Other ingredients like carotene color, mixed carotenes, and citric acid are additives but allowed; however the presence of modified starch and glucose syrup is sufficient to classify this as ultra-processed.

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.
