Yes — Crispy M&M's Share Bag is ultra-processed.
A highly processed sweet, best enjoyed occasionally.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: palm fat, glucose syrup, barley malt extract, dextrin, emulsifier (soya lecithin), glazing agent (carnauba wax), and flavouring. These ingredients are industrially processed formulations, emulsifiers, glazing agents, or flavouring additives associated with ultra-processing. The product also contains multiple refined fats and added colours, reinforcing its highly formulated nature.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Crispy M&M's Share Bag by M&Ms is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: palm fat, glucose syrup, barley malt extract, dextrin, emulsifier (soya lecithin), glazing agent (carnauba wax), and flavouring. These ingredients are industrially processed formulations, emulsifiers, glazing agents, or flavouring additives associated with ultra-processing. The product also contains multiple refined fats and added colours, reinforcing its highly formulated nature.
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.
