Yes — Skittles is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Sea salt crackers are classified as ultra-processed because they contain natural flavouring, which is an industrially extracted additive considered UPF. The product also includes yeast powder, a processed formulation, but the decisive UPF ingredient is natural flavouring. Fortified wheat flour, sunflower oil, sea salt, sugar, sugar cane syrup, rice flour, and yeast are not individually sufficient to classify the product as UPF under the specified criteria.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Skittles by Wrigley is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Sea salt crackers are classified as ultra-processed because they contain natural flavouring, which is an industrially extracted additive considered UPF. The product also includes yeast powder, a processed formulation, but the decisive UPF ingredient is natural flavouring. Fortified wheat flour, sunflower oil, sea salt, sugar, sugar cane syrup, rice flour, and yeast are not individually sufficient to classify the product as UPF under the specified criteria.
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.
