No — Walnuts is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Single-ingredient whole nuts with no additives or industrial formulations are minimally processed, not ultra-processed according to NOVA.
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.
