Yes — sweet Chilli crisps by Marks And Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and extracts beyond basic culinary ingredients, specifically maltodextrin, yeast extract, generic flavouring, and herb/capsicum/chilli extracts used as concentrated additives, which meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
