Yes — Pistaches caramélisées is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, natural pistachio flavoring, and sunflower lecithin emulsifier. These are industrially processed sugar and extracted flavoring/emulsifier additives that contribute to a UPF classification. The remaining ingredients, such as sugar, cocoa paste, cocoa butter, pistachios, water, salt, and vanilla extract, do not independently determine the classification.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

The remaining ingredients, such as sugar, cocoa paste, cocoa butter, pistachios, water, salt, and vanilla extract, do not independently determine the classification.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
