Yes — Sweet Potato Biscuits is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday because it contains an industrial phosphate additive.
This appears to be a vegetable-based biscuit or treat. It is classified as ultra-processed because sodium hexametaphosphate is an extracted industrial additive used for mineral binding and texture or stability functions. The other ingredients, including dried potatoes, sweet potatoes, tapioca starch, vegetable glycerine, herbs, algae, fibre, yeast, and minerals, do not independently make it UPF under the stated criteria.

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.
