Yes — Sweet Chilli Flavour Wholegrain Snack is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This wholegrain snack is ultra-processed because it contains flavouring, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and an industrial flavour additive. The ready-to-eat seasoned snack format also represents an industrial formulation. Other ingredients, including wholegrains, sunflower oil, sugar, spices, citric acid, paprika extract, and tomato, onion, and garlic powders, do not independently determine the classification.
