Yes — Gnocchi is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because added flavourings indicate ultra-processing.
UPF: The product contains flavouring in the potato flakes and a separate milk flavouring. Natural or artificial flavourings are industrial additives associated with ultra-processing. The other ingredients, including dehydrated potato, wheat flour, cornflour, durum wheat semolina, salt, citric acid, and sorbic acid, do not independently determine the classification here.
Other vegetables Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Gnocchi by Sainsbury's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). UPF: The product contains flavouring in the potato flakes and a separate milk flavouring. Natural or artificial flavourings are industrial additives associated with ultra-processing. The other ingredients, including dehydrated potato, wheat flour, cornflour, durum wheat semolina, salt, citric acid, and sorbic acid, do not independently determine the classification here.
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.
