Yes — Caramelised Biscuits is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Caramelised biscuits are classified as ultra-processed because they contain candy sugar syrup, a pre-identified UPF ingredient representing an industrially processed sugar syrup. The remaining ingredients—wheat flour, sugar, sunflower oil, sodium carbonates, salt, and cinnamon—do not independently trigger the UPF classification under the stated criteria.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Caramelised Biscuits by Belmont is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Caramelised biscuits are classified as ultra-processed because they contain candy sugar syrup, a pre-identified UPF ingredient representing an industrially processed sugar syrup. The remaining ingredients—wheat flour, sugar, sunflower oil, sodium carbonates, salt, and cinnamon—do not independently trigger the UPF classification under the stated criteria.
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.
