Yes — Viennetta Vanille is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and ingredients such as glucose-fructose syrup and glucose syrup (industrially refined sugars), emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, ammonium phosphatides), stabilizers/thickeners (carob seed flour, guar gum, tara gum, carrageenan), and added flavouring (natural vanilla flavour). These extracted and industrially formulated ingredients place it in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category.
