Yes — Neo giant is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include refined/industrial components and additives such as palm oil (highly processed refined oil), glucose syrup (industrially processed sugar), lecithins as an emulsifier, and unspecified “aroma” (flavouring). These are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.

Yes — Neo giant by Lidl is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include refined/industrial components and additives such as palm oil (highly processed refined oil), glucose syrup (industrially processed sugar), lecithins as an emulsifier, and unspecified “aroma” (flavouring). These are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
Nomi flags one ingredient in Neo giant as an ultra-processed marker: flavoring. See the full ingredient breakdown above for what each one is.
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.
