Yes — Free From Lemon Tarts is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: lemon ganache (50%), glucose syrup, palmitates, palm oil, diacetyltartaric esters of fatty acids, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, dextrose, xanthan gum, and plain caramel colouring. These include industrially processed syrups and sugars, refined palm oil, emulsifiers, a thickener, and colouring agents, all of which contribute to its UPF classification.
Other puddings & desserts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Free From Lemon Tarts by Sainsburys is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: lemon ganache (50%), glucose syrup, palmitates, palm oil, diacetyltartaric esters of fatty acids, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, dextrose, xanthan gum, and plain caramel colouring. These include industrially processed syrups and sugars, refined palm oil, emulsifiers, a thickener, and colouring agents, all of which contribute to its UPF classification.
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.
