No — 4 all butter Croissants is not ultra-processed.

This product contains basic culinary ingredients such as fortified wheat flour, butter, water, sugar, eggs, milk powder, salt, yeast, and sourdough. The added acids (acetic acid, lactic acid) and flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid) are simple processing aids, not emblematic of ultra-processing under NOVA. There are no industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or other complex additives, so it is not classified as an ultra-processed food.
