Yes — Digestives White Chocolate is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid but the product is ultra-processed (UPF). It contains several industrial ingredients/additives: glucose-fructose syrup (an industrial refined sugar syrup), emulsifiers (soya lecithin, E476), palm oil (a highly refined oil), and natural vanilla flavouring. Presence of any such ingredient is enough to classify the product as UPF according to the NOVA criteria.

It contains several industrial ingredients/additives: glucose-fructose syrup (an industrial refined sugar syrup), emulsifiers (soya lecithin, E476), palm oil (a highly refined oil), and natural vanilla flavouring. Presence of any such ingredient is enough to classify the product as UPF according to the NOVA criteria.
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.
