Yes — Mild Spanish Chorizo Ring is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially processed isolated sugar that is considered a UPF ingredient. It also contains sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite, industrial preservative and antioxidant additives used in processed meat. The product is therefore an industrially formulated processed meat rather than a minimally processed pork product.

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.
