No — Custom - Strawberry Jam is not ultra-processed.
Citric acid, pectin, and sodium citrates are basic food additives and gelling/acid regulators commonly used in home cooking and traditional jam-making, not markers of ultra-processing in the NOVA sense. The rest of the ingredients are sugar, strawberries, and water, which are minimally processed culinary ingredients.

No — Custom - Strawberry Jam by Hartley's is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Citric acid, pectin, and sodium citrates are basic food additives and gelling/acid regulators commonly used in home cooking and traditional jam-making, not markers of ultra-processing in the NOVA sense. The rest of the ingredients are sugar, strawberries, and water, which are minimally processed culinary ingredients.
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.
