No — Cured ham by Citterio is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Cured ham is not ultra-processed under NOVA because it contains only pork and salt. These are simple culinary ingredients, with no industrial formulations or additives that would indicate ultra-processing.
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.
