Yes — FLAVOUR CORN PUFFS is ultra-processed.

Product is ultra-processed due to multiple industrial additives and formulations: flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5′-ribonucleotide), industrial sweeteners (fructose), artificial/industrial flavourings (“flavourings”), hydrolysed soya protein (a processed flavour booster), colourant (sulphite ammonia caramel), and complex “flamin’ hot flavour” mix. Presence of any such additives is sufficient to classify as UPF under NOVA.
