Yes — Egg Custard Tarts is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Egg Custard Tarts are ultra-processed because they contain several industrially processed ingredients and additives: dried glucose syrup and dextrose are refined industrial sugars; palm oil, palm stearin, and palm kernel oil are highly processed fats; flavourings and nutmeg extract are extracted or formulated flavouring additives. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial formulation beyond basic culinary preparation. Fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, eggs, milk, cream, sugar, salt, mixed carotenes, and standard fortifying nutrients do not independently determine the classification.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Egg Custard Tarts by sainsbury is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Egg Custard Tarts are ultra-processed because they contain several industrially processed ingredients and additives: dried glucose syrup and dextrose are refined industrial sugars; palm oil, palm stearin, and palm kernel oil are highly processed fats; flavourings and nutmeg extract are extracted or formulated flavouring additives. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial formulation beyond basic culinary preparation. Fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, eggs, milk, cream, sugar, salt, mixed carotenes, and standard fortifying nutrients 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.
