Yes — Mini Cheddars Original is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial ingredients/additives: palm vegetable oil (a highly refined oil), glucose syrup (an industrially extracted sugar), barley malt extract (an industrial flavor extract), and natural flavouring/flavourings (added flavouring compounds). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate an ultra-processed product under NOVA.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Mini Cheddars Original by Jacob's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial ingredients/additives: palm vegetable oil (a highly refined oil), glucose syrup (an industrially extracted sugar), barley malt extract (an industrial flavor extract), and natural flavouring/flavourings (added flavouring compounds). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate an ultra-processed product under 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.
