Yes — Milk Chocolate Cookies is ultra-processed.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. These include palm oil and palm fat (highly refined oils), partially inverted sugar syrup and glucose syrup (industrially processed sugars), emulsifiers such as lecithins (soya) and added emulsifier, flavouring, and diphosphates as a raising agent. The presence of these extracted, refined, and industrially formulated components makes the cookies ultra-processed under the NOVA classification.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Milk Chocolate Cookies by Belmont Biscuits is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. These include palm oil and palm fat (highly refined oils), partially inverted sugar syrup and glucose syrup (industrially processed sugars), emulsifiers such as lecithins (soya) and added emulsifier, flavouring, and diphosphates as a raising agent. The presence of these extracted, refined, and industrially formulated components makes the cookies ultra-processed under the NOVA classification.
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.
