Yes — Donuts is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial additives and formulations: emulsifier (lecithins), stabiliser (glycerol), and inverted sugar syrup, as well as added flavouring (arôme naturel). These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing 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.
