No, the label itself is incoherent. If we had a better education system, we probably wouldn't have quack science like this being accepted.

I'm sure the label seems incoherent to you. It must be frustrating seeing others discuss things that you can't make sense of.

The insight I offer, is that for many, a term may be both vague and lack a rigorous scientific definition, while still being meaningful and useful. This is a foundational concept and if you manage to internalize it I suspect that "ultra-processed" will be only one among many things that will begin to appear coherent to you.
