Yes — Corn Thins by By Sainsbury's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains sunflower lecithin, an emulsifier, which is an industrial additive. According to NOVA, the presence of such emulsifiers makes the product ultra-processed, even though the base ingredients (corn, oil, salt) are simple.
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.
