Yes — Vegetable Stock Cubes is ultra-processed.
The product is UPF. It contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives: palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5'-ribonucleotides), industrial flavourings, dried glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), and yeast extract used as a flavor enhancer. These industrial additives and refined ingredients make the product ultra-processed under NOVA, even though it also includes some basic ingredients like salt, herbs, and sugar.
