Yes — Protein Bar is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This protein bar is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, a refined industrial sugar, which is a UPF ingredient. It also contains palm kernel oil, an industrially refined fat, plus sunflower lecithin (an emulsifier), natural flavouring, and isolated soya protein used in a formulated protein crisp. These industrial ingredients and additives contribute to its UPF classification.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Protein Bar by KIND is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This protein bar is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, a refined industrial sugar, which is a UPF ingredient. It also contains palm kernel oil, an industrially refined fat, plus sunflower lecithin (an emulsifier), natural flavouring, and isolated soya protein used in a formulated protein crisp. These industrial ingredients and additives contribute to its UPF 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.
