Yes — Maple Syrup, Pecan & Penuts Protein Bar is ultra-processed.
This bar is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted and refined sugar ingredient that falls under NOVA ultra-processed foods. All other ingredients (nuts, seeds, maple syrup, peanut oil, rice, rice bran, sugar, sea salt) are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of glucose syrup is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Maple Syrup, Pecan & Penuts Protein Bar by Eat Natural is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bar is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted and refined sugar ingredient that falls under NOVA ultra-processed foods. All other ingredients (nuts, seeds, maple syrup, peanut oil, rice, rice bran, sugar, sea salt) are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of glucose syrup is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
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.
