No — Oat is not ultra-processed.
The drink contains water, organic gluten-free oats, and salt. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, flavorings, refined industrial sweeteners, or processing aids typically associated with ultra-processed foods. UHT treatment is a heat-processing method, not an ingredient, and does not itself make the product 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.
