No — Big Hoops Irresistibly Salted by Hula Hoops is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This snack is made from dried potato, potato starch, sunflower oil, salt, and potassium chloride. These are basic food ingredients or a simple mineral salt, and none are industrial additives that require classification as ultra-processed under the stated NOVA guidance. The allergen and recycling statements do not affect the classification.
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.
