No — Jalapeño Corn Chips is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains only corn flour, cornmeal, and jalapeño chillies. These are basic, minimally processed ingredients with no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, or other markers of ultra-processing as defined by NOVA.
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.
