Yes — Twix 10 Pack is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Twix is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: glucose syrup, palm fat, emulsifier (soya lecithin), and flavouring. Glucose syrup is an industrially extracted sugar; palm fat is a highly processed refined fat; and soya lecithin and flavouring are extracted or formulated additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods. The product is therefore classified as UPF under the NOVA system.

Yes — Twix 10 Pack by Mars is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Twix is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: glucose syrup, palm fat, emulsifier (soya lecithin), and flavouring. Glucose syrup is an industrially extracted sugar; palm fat is a highly processed refined fat; and soya lecithin and flavouring are extracted or formulated additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods. The product is therefore classified as UPF under the NOVA system.
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.
