Yes — Mediterranean Pinch of Salt Crackers is ultra-processed.
This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives characteristic of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods. Specifically: glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar syrup), barley malt extract (used as a processed flavor/sweetening agent), and emulsifier E472e (mono- and diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, an industrial emulsifier). The presence of these additives and refined syrup ingredients moves the product into the ultra-processed category, even though it also contains basic ingredients like wheat flour, vegetable oil, and salt.
Other crackers & crispbreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Mediterranean Pinch of Salt Crackers by Jacob's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives characteristic of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods. Specifically: glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar syrup), barley malt extract (used as a processed flavor/sweetening agent), and emulsifier E472e (mono- and diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, an industrial emulsifier). The presence of these additives and refined syrup ingredients moves the product into the ultra-processed category, even though it also contains basic ingredients like wheat flour, vegetable oil, and salt.
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.
