Yes — Finely Sliced Honey Roast Ham is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and processing aids including colour (plain caramel) and preservatives (sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate). These extracted and synthesized additives, used for colouring and preservation rather than as traditional culinary ingredients, meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods. Other ingredients like cornflour and sugar are not themselves UPF, but the presence of these additives is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
