Yes — raw fruit & nut bar is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as UPF because it contains the additive 'natural flavouring', which is an industrially produced flavouring agent. Even though the base ingredients (dates, cashews, raisins) are minimally processed, the presence of natural flavouring makes the overall product ultra-processed according to the NOVA guidelines used here.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
