Yes — Wotsits Giants Flamin Hot is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and ultra-processed ingredients, including flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5′-ribonucleotide), refined sugar derivatives (fructose), hydrolysed vegetable protein, and colour additives (sulphite ammonia caramel). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Wotsits Giants Flamin Hot by Walkers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and ultra-processed ingredients, including flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5′-ribonucleotide), refined sugar derivatives (fructose), hydrolysed vegetable protein, and colour additives (sulphite ammonia caramel). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
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.
