Yes — Cookies & Cream Ice Cream is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list consists of generic component foods ("ice cream", "oreos", "cookie pieces") rather than a proper ingredient declaration with individual ingredients and additives, so it is not a valid ingredient list. However, commercially produced Oreos and ice cream virtually always contain ultra-processed ingredients such as refined sugars (e.g., glucose-fructose syrup), emulsifiers (e.g., soy lecithin, mono- and diglycerides), and flavorings, so this combined product would be considered ultra-processed in practice.

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.
