Yes — Doritos Cool Original is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Doritos Cool Original is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: flavouring, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide), acidity regulators (malic acid, sodium acetates, and citric acid), glucose syrup, cheese powder from milk, and milk protein. These ingredients are characteristic of industrially formulated snack foods and meet the criteria for ultra-processing.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Doritos Cool Original by Doritos is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Doritos Cool Original is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: flavouring, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide), acidity regulators (malic acid, sodium acetates, and citric acid), glucose syrup, cheese powder from milk, and milk protein. These ingredients are characteristic of industrially formulated snack foods and meet the criteria for ultra-processing.
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.
