Yes — Tangz Crisps is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Tangz Crisps are ultra-processed because they contain flavouring and the colour curcumin, which are industrially extracted or formulated additives under the NOVA classification guidance. The product also includes a ready-to-eat crisp formulation with multiple processed components, including potato granules and whey permeate. These additives and the industrial formulation contribute to its UPF classification.
