No — Olives is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list contains pitted green olives, sunflower oil, red pepper meze (red peppers, water, red wine vinegar, sea salt, sugar), chipotle chilli paste (chipotle chilli pepper, water, tomato paste, acetic acid, sea salt, onion, sugar, salt), oregano, and parsley. These are all basic or minimally processed culinary ingredients. The additives present—citric acid, ascorbic acid, and acetic acid—are common acidity regulators/antioxidants that fall under basic food additives, which the guidance specifies are acceptable and do not by themselves make a product ultra-processed. There are no industrially formulated sweeteners, emulsifiers, thickeners, flavor enhancers, inverted or refined syrups, or other ultra-processed markers in the list.

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.
