Yes — Battenberg is ultra-processed.
A highly processed treat, best enjoyed occasionally.
Battenberg is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and refined ingredients associated with NOVA ultra-processing: glucose-fructose syrup, glucose syrup, and dextrose are industrially processed sugars; palm oil is highly refined; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids are emulsifiers; flavouring is an extracted or synthesized flavour additive; and sodium citrates, potassium sorbate, and pectin are pre-identified UPF ingredients under the applicable classification. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation rather than a simple baked food.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Battenberg by Mr Kipling is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Battenberg is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and refined ingredients associated with NOVA ultra-processing: glucose-fructose syrup, glucose syrup, and dextrose are industrially processed sugars; palm oil is highly refined; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids are emulsifiers; flavouring is an extracted or synthesized flavour additive; and sodium citrates, potassium sorbate, and pectin are pre-identified UPF ingredients under the applicable classification. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation rather than a simple baked food.
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.
