Yes — Le Sfoglie is ultra-processed.
This puff pastry is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including vegetable margarine made with refined palm oil, as well as emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) and flavourings. Palm oil in margarine is a highly processed refined fat, mono- and diglycerides are industrial emulsifiers, and flavourings are industrially produced additives. These ingredients place the product in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Le Sfoglie by Italiamo is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This puff pastry is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including vegetable margarine made with refined palm oil, as well as emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) and flavourings. Palm oil in margarine is a highly processed refined fat, mono- and diglycerides are industrial emulsifiers, and flavourings are industrially produced additives. These ingredients place the product in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) 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.
