Yes — Thai Sweet Chilli crisps is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). While many ingredients are basic (potato, sunflower oil, sugar, spices, tomato/garlic/onion powders, citric acid), it contains several UPF indicators: flavourings (an industrial flavour additive), yeast extract powder (a processed flavour enhancer), and soy sauce in powdered/instant form (tamari soy sauce powder), which is an industrial formulation. The presence of these extracted and industrially processed additives and flavourings places the product in the ultra-processed category according to NOVA.

Yes — Thai Sweet Chilli crisps is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). While many ingredients are basic (potato, sunflower oil, sugar, spices, tomato/garlic/onion powders, citric acid), it contains several UPF indicators: flavourings (an industrial flavour additive), yeast extract powder (a processed flavour enhancer), and soy sauce in powdered/instant form (tamari soy sauce powder), which is an industrial formulation. The presence of these extracted and industrially processed additives and flavourings places the product in the ultra-processed category according to NOVA.
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.
