Yes — Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Serrano Ham by M&S Food Collection is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The crisps contain yeast extract and natural flavouring, which are industrially processed additives used for flavour enhancement. Their presence classifies the product as ultra-processed according to the NOVA system, even though the base ingredients (potatoes, olive oil, salt, ham, dried onion, dried garlic) are minimally 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.
