No — pesto roasted pepper & crushed almond is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid and consists mostly of whole or minimally processed ingredients: peppers, almonds, cheese, basil, rice syrup, garlic, pepper flakes, lactic acid, and salt. Rice syrup is treated here as a traditional sweetener, not a UPF ingredient per the guidelines. Lactic acid is a simple, common food acidulant allowed as a basic additive. There are no industrial flavorings, emulsifiers, refined syrups like glucose-fructose syrup, or other ultra-processed additives listed, so this product is not classified as ultra-processed under the provided NOVA-based rules.

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.
