Yes — Sea Salt & Pepper Roasted But Mix is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients/additives including glucose syrup (an industrially extracted refined sugar syrup) and natural flavouring (an extracted flavor additive). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and make the overall product UPF according to NOVA, even though the base nuts, salts, peppercorns, and citric acid themselves are not UPF.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
