Yes — Snaktastic Cheese & Onion is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the cheese & onion flavour seasoning contains extracted additives and industrial ingredients, including: dried whey, lactose, dried yeast extract (a flavor enhancer), and “natural flavouring.” These are industrially processed ingredients/additives used to modify flavor beyond basic culinary processing, which places the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Snaktastic Cheese & Onion by Lidl is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the cheese & onion flavour seasoning contains extracted additives and industrial ingredients, including: dried whey, lactose, dried yeast extract (a flavor enhancer), and “natural flavouring.” These are industrially processed ingredients/additives used to modify flavor beyond basic culinary processing, which places the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
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.
