Yes — Spaghetti bolognese seasoning mix is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, which is an industrially processed flavor enhancer and is explicitly considered a UPF ingredient in the NOVA framework used here. Other ingredients are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of yeast extract is sufficient to classify the entire product as UPF.

Yes — Spaghetti bolognese seasoning mix by Bramwells is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, which is an industrially processed flavor enhancer and is explicitly considered a UPF ingredient in the NOVA framework used here. Other ingredients are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of yeast extract is sufficient to classify the entire product as UPF.
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.
