Yes — Vegane Mühlen Nuggets Klassisch is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives: methylcellulose (a thickener/stabilizer) and “natürliches Aroma” (natural flavouring), which are extracted/industrial formulations. These make the product a UPF under NOVA despite the rest being mostly basic ingredients.

Yes — Vegane Mühlen Nuggets Klassisch by Rügenwalder Mühle is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives: methylcellulose (a thickener/stabilizer) and “natürliches Aroma” (natural flavouring), which are extracted/industrial formulations. These make the product a UPF under NOVA despite the rest being mostly basic ingredients.
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.
