Yes — Pea & Ham Soup is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including dextrose (an industrial sugar), modified cornflour, unspecified flavouring, smoke flavouring, stabilisers (polyphosphates, sodium phosphates, diphosphates), and reformed ham made with potato starch and additives. These are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.

Yes — Pea & Ham Soup by Heinz is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including dextrose (an industrial sugar), modified cornflour, unspecified flavouring, smoke flavouring, stabilisers (polyphosphates, sodium phosphates, diphosphates), and reformed ham made with potato starch and additives. These are characteristic of NOVA 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.
