Yes — Tuna and Legume Salad is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because industrial flavouring and thickener are present.
This appears to be a tuna, legume, quinoa, and vegetable salad. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural lemon flavouring, an extracted flavour additive used to modify taste, and guar gum, an extracted thickening agent used to alter texture. The remaining ingredients are mostly minimally processed foods and basic culinary ingredients, including tuna, legumes, quinoa, vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, salt, lemon juice concentrate, garlic puree, herbs, spices, and pumpkin seeds.

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.
