Yes — Cake Baking Soft Spread is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed; not ideal for everyday use.
This is an ultra-processed product because it contains several industrially processed additives and fats. Palm oil and palm kernel oil are highly refined oils, and the emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids is an industrial emulsifying agent. Flavouring and carotenes used as a colour are also extracted or formulated additives associated with ultra-processing. Rapeseed oil, salt, citric acid, and vitamins A and D do not independently make the product ultra-processed, but the emulsifier, flavouring, colour, and highly processed palm-derived oils do.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Cake Baking Soft Spread by Vita d'Or is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is an ultra-processed product because it contains several industrially processed additives and fats. Palm oil and palm kernel oil are highly refined oils, and the emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids is an industrial emulsifying agent. Flavouring and carotenes used as a colour are also extracted or formulated additives associated with ultra-processing. Rapeseed oil, salt, citric acid, and vitamins A and D do not independently make the product ultra-processed, but the emulsifier, flavouring, colour, and highly processed palm-derived oils do.
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.
