Yes — Vegan Super Selection is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because its ingredient list includes several industrial ingredients and additives. Specifically, it contains fructose-glucose syrup (an industrial refined sugar syrup), maltitol (a polyol sweetener), acidity regulators (sodium acetate, acetic acid, malic acid), colour additives (plain caramel, sulphite ammonia caramel), palm oil (in crispy onion), and processed components like cooked rice with fructose-glucose syrup and seasoned cooked shiitake mushrooms with colour additives. These are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
