Yes — Pastry case is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and formulations including palm oil (a highly refined oil), maltodextrin (an industrially processed sugar), sorbitol syrup (a humectant sweetener), and emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
