Yes — 9 Mini All Butter Mince Pies is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
These mince pies are ultra-processed because they contain industrially processed additives and sugars: glycerol (listed as a humectant), pectins (listed as a gelling agent), and dextrose. The candied mixed peel also contains glucose-fructose syrup, another industrially extracted sugar. These ingredients contribute industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing. The acetic acid, citric acid, fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, shea oil, sugar, and spices do not independently determine the classification.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — 9 Mini All Butter Mince Pies by Sainsbury's, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). These mince pies are ultra-processed because they contain industrially processed additives and sugars: glycerol (listed as a humectant), pectins (listed as a gelling agent), and dextrose. The candied mixed peel also contains glucose-fructose syrup, another industrially extracted sugar. These ingredients contribute industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing. The acetic acid, citric acid, fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, shea oil, sugar, and spices do not independently determine the classification.
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.
