Yes — Mediteranean Sundried Tomato Nut Roast is ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several UPF ingredients and additives, including dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), yeast extract powder (a flavor enhancer), natural flavourings (industrial flavoring agents), and an acidity regulator (citric acid used as an additive). These indicate industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing, so under NOVA it is an ultra-processed food (UPF).
