Yes — Fig Rolls is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. In particular, palm oil is a highly refined oil; glucose syrup and partially inverted sugar syrup are industrially extracted and processed sugars; and the raising agent sodium carbonates is pre-identified here as a UPF ingredient. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate an ultra-processed formulation according to NOVA.
