No — Poppadoms is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple ingredients and no clear ultra-processing markers.
Poppadoms are made primarily from lentil flour, with rapeseed oil, salt, and common raising agents. These are basic culinary ingredients and food additives that do not indicate an industrial formulation under the stated NOVA criteria. Calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonates, and diphosphates are used as raising agents here and do not make the product ultra-processed. Protective-atmosphere packaging and precautionary allergen statements do not affect the classification. No artificial flavouring, hydrogenated fat, emulsifier, stabilizer, or refined syrup is identified.

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.
