No — Sweet Piquante Peppers is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are water, piquanté peppers, sugar, spirit vinegar, salt, citric acid, ascorbic acid, and a firming agent (E509, calcium chloride). These are basic culinary ingredients and simple additives (acids, mineral salt) commonly used in home canning and pickling. There are no industrial formulations such as refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, or added flavors, so it does not meet the NOVA criteria for an ultra-processed food.

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.
