Yes — Rich Tea Finger Biscuits is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Rich Tea Finger Biscuits are ultra-processed because they contain palm oil, a highly refined industrial oil; barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer; and partially inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed refined sugar syrup. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The wheat flour is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which does not itself make the product ultra-processed, and the sugar, salt, and raising agents are basic ingredients.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Rich Tea Finger Biscuits by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Rich Tea Finger Biscuits are ultra-processed because they contain palm oil, a highly refined industrial oil; barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer; and partially inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed refined sugar syrup. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The wheat flour is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which does not itself make the product ultra-processed, and the sugar, salt, and raising agents are basic ingredients.
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.
