Yes — Wotsits is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and flavoring agents: yeast extract and disodium 5'-ribonucleotides are flavor enhancers; colours, including annatto norbixin and paprika extract, are extracted coloring additives; and natural flavouring is an industrial flavoring ingredient. These additives, together with the ready-to-eat cheese-flavored corn snack formulation, meet the stated UPF criteria.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Wotsits by Walkers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and flavoring agents: yeast extract and disodium 5'-ribonucleotides are flavor enhancers; colours, including annatto norbixin and paprika extract, are extracted coloring additives; and natural flavouring is an industrial flavoring ingredient. These additives, together with the ready-to-eat cheese-flavored corn snack formulation, meet the stated UPF criteria.
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.
