Yes — Baked Beans In Tomato Sauce is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: glucose-fructose sugar (an industrially refined sugar syrup), syrup (likely refined sugar syrup), modified maize starch (a chemically modified starch used as a thickener), maltodextrin (an industrially processed carbohydrate), and flavouring (an added flavouring agent). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

Yes — Baked Beans In Tomato Sauce by Everyday Essentials is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: glucose-fructose sugar (an industrially refined sugar syrup), syrup (likely refined sugar syrup), modified maize starch (a chemically modified starch used as a thickener), maltodextrin (an industrially processed carbohydrate), and flavouring (an added flavouring agent). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients 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.
