Yes — 200ge is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The product is ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains multiple industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA group 4, including: palm oil (highly refined industrial oil), barley malt extract (industrially processed flavoring extract), flavourings (added flavorings), hydrolysed maize protein (a flavor enhancer produced by hydrolysis), and emulsifier (soya lecithins). The presence of any such ingredient is sufficient to classify the product as UPF.

Yes — 200ge by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. The product is ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains multiple industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA group 4, including: palm oil (highly refined industrial oil), barley malt extract (industrially processed flavoring extract), flavourings (added flavorings), hydrolysed maize protein (a flavor enhancer produced by hydrolysis), and emulsifier (soya lecithins). The presence of any such ingredient is sufficient to classify the product as UPF.
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.
