No — Cornichons with Herbs by Aldi is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be a simple jarred pickle made from gherkins with water, vinegar, sugar, salt, spices, and vegetables. It contains no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavourings, so it fits within minimally processed/processed foods rather than 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.
