Yes — Seeded Cheese Crackers is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial additives and UPF markers: palm oil (highly refined oil), glucose syrup (industrially processed sugar syrup), emulsifier mono- and diacyl glycerides of fatty acids, flavourings, autolysed yeast powder, and barley malt extract used as a flavor enhancer. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients, so under NOVA this product is UPF.
