Yes — Sun-Pat Crunchy Peanut Butter is ultra-processed.
The product contains stabiliser E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), which is an emulsifier/processing aid and therefore an ultra-processed additive according to NOVA. Presence of any such industrial additive makes the overall product ultra-processed, even though the main ingredient is peanuts.
