Yes — Biscuits for cheese is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: palm oil, malted barley extract (an industrially processed flavor-enhancing extract), glucose syrup, inverted sugar syrup, and the emulsifier E472e. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The other ingredients, including fortified wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and yeast extract, do not independently determine the classification.

Yes — Biscuits for cheese by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: palm oil, malted barley extract (an industrially processed flavor-enhancing extract), glucose syrup, inverted sugar syrup, and the emulsifier E472e. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The other ingredients, including fortified wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and yeast extract, 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.
