No — Lo Salt is not ultra-processed.

A simple mineral salt blend, not ultra-processed.

Lo Salt is a mineral salt product made primarily from potassium chloride and sodium chloride. Magnesium carbonate is a basic anti-caking mineral, and salts of hexacyanoferrate are used in very small amounts to prevent clumping; these additives do not constitute an industrial formulation under the stated NOVA criteria. It is therefore not ultra-processed.
