Yes — Chocolate Orange Biscuits is ultra-processed.
This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) according to the NOVA system because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. In particular, it includes glucose-fructose syrup, dextrose, and glucose syrup (industrially refined sugars); vegetable fats (palm, shea) and vegetable oils (sunflower, palm), including refined palm fat; multiple emulsifiers (soya lecithin, e476); humectant (glycerine); gelling agent (pectin); acidity/acid regulators; colour (curcumin); and natural flavouring / natural orange flavouring. These are all markers of industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing. The presence of any one of these would be sufficient to classify it as UPF; the combination of many such additives confirms it.

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.
